Children's Art Clubs
Support the Culture of Peace
We believe that children are at the crossroads. That they are the future and they need to bee exposed to peaceful places where they can experience harmony within themselves and others.
We advocate Children's Art Houses for every community to follow the UN Culture of Peace and develop:
Beingship - Who am I?
Friendship - Relationship with one other
Citizenship - My important part in my community
Leadership - Others appreciate my support of them
Partnership - Global relationships

Are we 'At War' with our children or 'At Peace' with them?
New Zealand's statistics are grim.
Let's support the next generation to feel at Peace in our beautiful country and change our culture. It's in our hands.
Peace is..
Not only the absence of war. It is..
The absence of fear and despair.
Terror, sadness, upset, desolation, pain....
Peace in Action is Kindness
The relief of suffering and despair through an act of kindness.
