Peace Begins at Home

Title: Peace Begins at Home 

Education is the pathway to the future and freedom from poverty, violence, and exploitation. A child is entitled to basic human rights, which include the right to education, allowing that child to reach their fullest potential. It is through this access and opportunity a child, their family, and their communities will thrive in peace and peaceful co-existence with others. 

Peace begins at home with mothers who live in some of the harshest and most devastated areas of the world. But it is through training mothers that children can become educated in small groups with minimal resources and tools. Amarok Society Schools, based in Alberta, Canada, is an example of a successful program with proven results where women "find their true strength" and become teachers and community leaders. It is well-documented that mothers primarily establish a family’s culture of learning. Our presentation will serve to inform, inspire, and perhaps even encourage scale where there is often little hope or opportunity.
