Evidence of Success!

Listen to what people are saying! Educators and Parents speak to the merits
of The Children's Peace Initiative Program and its impact on the children.

Dr. T. Oya Townsley

“I see a tremendous need for the Children's Peace Initiative Program for all children in their formative years. Having served troubled youth for many years who in general sorely lack conflict resolution skills and healthy ways to channel their anger, I can see where the children's peace initiative has the potential to eliminate much of the hostility that exists within the culture of this nation. Since attitudes and values of children are shaped well before their young adult years, school systems implementing this program could potentially shift much of the negativity in the social climate of schools and communities.”

“Afi Saunders Peace program incorporates important issues such as 'conflict resolution' and 'empathy' in such a way that the children easily understand, and they enjoy learning how to make use of this knowledge in their everyday lives. The program is a positive addition to our curriculum, and the class teachers and myself have seen the benefits it brings to the future of the children.”

“I am both a parent and a teacher and I think that all students could benefit from this type of program that focuses on behavior building and the character building. This program has been really beneficial. We see it working all the time here at home and I would love to see it being used for other children and other places.”

“Our son had a real fantastic change in his attitude. Things didn't set him off as much. He was able to calm himself much more quickly. I think one of things that really helped him was some of the mindfulness training, being self-reflective, some of meditation to really think about his day, think about his interactions, made a huge difference in calming him.”

“The Children's Peace Initiative has a beautiful balance . . .  the children really grasp difficult concepts, but really understand them . . . with songs, with activities that allow them to relate it to their normal situations in life . . . this program was able to bring the best out of the children and really, to make it alive in their daily interactions . . . I'm very, very thankful for having been part of a school that was able to incorporate this Children's Peace Initiative.”

“The peace education program at our school was very useful… We had great discussions on how to resolve conflicts and how to relate to others through discussion…Some of the lessons involved role-playing. During that time the children were able to connect… We made sure as teachers to reinforce these lessons. It was a wonderful program.”
