Peace Education Fund
Through the cooperation of Riverside-Salem UCC/DC, a PEACE EDUCATION FUND (PEF) has
been established.
Peace education is directed to the full development of the human personality and the
strenghtening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms; it promotes
understanding, tolerance and friendship among all nations and peoples, and among all
racial, ethnic and religious groups; it respects all beings, their habitats and their
diversity.
This fund will help support the work of local peace educators and projects, including
the Women in Black silent weekly peace vigils and the Interfaith Peace
Network
Donations not designated for Women in Black or the Interfaith Peace Network go into
a "General Fund". This fund is used to provide support to individuals, organizations
or projects, through an Award / Grant process.
