Dear Educators
and Therapists,
I've kept
my eye out for free and inexpensive resources for helping children
learn peace building skills. Here are some that I like. Please
send your list of peace building resources to me and we'll post
it on the Web. It's called networking -- all of us sharing what
is valuable and true with each other! Let me know what you would
like posted on this page.
