Join us on Saturday, September 22 from 2 - 4 pm as the New England Youth Leadership Council kicks off the New England Roots & Shoots Peace Through the Arts campaign. This kick-off represents the 1st Annual Roots & Shoots Peace Day Celebration to be held in New England. We will meet in the Council Chambers of the Rondileau Campus Center of Bridgewater State College in Bridgewater, MA. (Directions at http://www.bridgew.edu/directions.cfm.) Enjoy the music of Sarah Burrill (http://www.sarahburrill.com/), youth speakers on peace, an exhibiton of artwork submitted by 14 Roots & Shoots groups, art awards ceremony, drawing for prizes, project activities…and more!
New England youth leaders wish to raise $3,500 to support the Roots & Shoots program for Congolese youth living in the Lugufu Refugee camp in western Tanzania. The program has been successful in helping create sustainable living conditions, reducing the impact of refugees on the local environment and creating linkages among refugees and local Tanzanians.
Admission to the Peace Day Celebration is free, but your voluntary donation of $5 will be sent to Lugufu and will make you eligible for a drawing for lots of great prizes!
