Dance 4 Peace
Celebrate the International Day of Peace (Sept 21) in a fun and vibrant way. We want to send a clear message that violence, hatred and division are a poison to our world ....
Dance 4 Peace, also gives us the opportunity to do something good and shine a spotlight on those actively promoting harmony, equality and kindness.
Proceeds raised from this "Dance 4 Peace" event will go directly to the Peshawar School for Peace in Pakistan.
The school promotes inter-faith harmony and has a special role in the provision of education for girls.
In the region of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, for example, just 35%, of girls can read. With your generosity, this can change for the better.
The school's philosophy is simple.
To deliver a better outcome for future generations, a movement for peace is required. If more young people in the region can receive a good education, goals such as gender
quality and social cohesion – critical pillars of peace and development – stand a much better chance of being achieved. This is the basis for founding a new school that is focused on
peace-building.
Help us turn the young people of today into tomorrow’s ambassadors for peace and harmony.
