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.
