"Peace Takes Courage, Too"

“Peace Takes Courage, Too.”

I heard an interesting story on NPR today. Somewhere in the middle of all the Terror that is the Middle East, there is someone holding a peace camp for young girls. Jewish Israelis and Arab Pakistanis are brought together under the premise of peace and are supporting each other as members of humanity. It’s nice to know that there are people who can see past the differences of race and religion. These young girls are spending time getting to know each other and probably figuring out that most people have the same basic hopes and dreams. It’s too bad that so many in the world do not see the value in a t-shirt that says, “Peace Takes Courage, Too.” [This tee was worn by one of the girls at the peace camp, and described by the NPR correspondent.] Did I mention that I love NPR?
