CIH

This year our class is working with CIH (Children Inspiring Hope). The program will connect a North American kid and my class with another class of kids in the same grade as us in Ghana. Through mail and projects we will connect with the class and develop a friendship with the kids from Ghana. We will be creating peace through friendship, which is a very good way of creating peace. I create peace through information. The more you know the less room there is for racial stereo-types and prejudice of other people because you know the truth. To me peace is the lack of serious negative conflict, a peaceful world, to me, is not a world without any conflict at all. It is a world in which there is equality, not complete equality, but equal opportunities for people in the same situation, even if they have a different heritage. As the project we will send to our new Ghanaian friends I think we should send the speeches we wrote for elections minus all the election parts so they know a personal story about us and we have made it safe for a strong, open, and trusting friendship between us.
