Who We Are... an interfaith cross-cultural education for peace program

Mission Statement:
Kids4Peace-VT is an interfaith program that promotes harmonious relationships between and among Jews, Christians, and Muslims both in VT and in the Middle East. We establish personal contacts and environments that form bonds of respect among young people and other members of their Abrahamic communities. We seek to overcome the forces that separate us. Kids4Peace values each tradition's faith practices and is nondenominational, non-political, and non-partisan.

Kids4Peace Vermont:

sponsors a summer camp and regional activities for Jewish, Christian, and Muslim kids and their families through out the year to promote interfaith dialogue and community building.
believes in the importance of peace through understanding, trust, respect, listening, learning, and friendship in a world torn by religious and cultural differences
enhances intercultural awareness as a path to peaceful co-existence

Imagine a place in the Middle East, in the midst of daily violence and fear, where the children of Israel and Palestine, the kids of the Holy Land, can feel safe.

Imagine an open place, where Christian, Jewish, and Muslim children can speak from their hearts and tell their stories. A place where their faces may be seen and their voices may be heard.

Imagine a place where the children of the United States can discover the common heritage they share with the children of the Middle East. Imagine a place in which children learn respect tolerance, and understanding.

Imagine a world in which these children become the leaders of the future. Imagine peace.
