    Peace camps for children and
    youth in India and Pakistan
     
    Dear Friends:
     
    I am sure what is currently going on in many parts of South Asia is a
    source of concern to many people. We, at the Association of Communal
    Harmony in Asia (ACHA), have decided to do something about it.
    We will work with South Asian peace and harmony activists and
    supporters to develop and initiate peace-building programs for youth
    and children in India and Pakistan. Also we have sought guidance from
    a couple of American Peace Psychologists.
     
    An ideal program should help youth and children learn skills in
    independent thinking, empathetic listening, and cooperative problem-
    solving and compassionate conflict-resolution. It should help them to
    inculcate the noble values of kindness, compassion, tolerance and
    nonviolence. It should assist them in adopting ways of living in
    peace and harmony with others, especially those who differ from them
    in social status, religious beliefs, and national origin. Finally, it
    should enable them to become decent human beings and good members of
    their family, neighborhood, nation and the global village. We expect
    the program would help foster a culture of peace, tolerance and
    harmony WITHIN as well as BETWEEN not only India and Pakistan but also
    in other South Asian nations.
     
    For this purpose, sometime this year, with the help of local peace and
    harmony activists and supporters, we would like to organize peace
    camps for youth and children in a few selected places in India and
    Pakistan. For an example of peace camp please check out Dr. Jody
    Dempsey's article, "Teaching Peace through Fun: 17 Years of a Peace
    Camp for Kids," in the Articles of the Months section at
    http://www.asiapeace.org/acha/01-15-2010.htm
     
    We are now collecting stories, poems, songs and other suitable group
    and individual activities in Urdu, Hindi, and English), which can be
    used in peace camps. Also we are looking for volunteers who can help
    us fund, organize, and conduct these peace camps. Please let us know
    at asiapeace@comcast.net if you can help us.
    ACHA is a small, US-based organization, which is dedicated to promote
    peace in South Asia, and harmony among South Asians everywhere. More
    information about us is available at our two websites www.asiapeace.org
    & www.indiapakistanpeace.org
     
    Best Wishes,
