Children’s Peace Fair Coverage:
Thanks to Channel 40 for their coverage
Embracing a Nonviolent Future at a District-wide Children’s Peace Fair
Veterans for Peace of Binghamton, NY held the only Children’s Peace Fair in the area—and perhaps the world—on International Peace Day. Veterans for Peace, with help from Peace Action, created Childrenspeacefair.org, the only website devoted to children’s fairs with a focus on making peace a joyous activity. We aspire to help the Children’s Peace Fair spread to schools around the world to unite us in celebrating International Peace Day on September 21.
