CELEBRATE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE! - September 21, 2008

Each year, in support of the United Nations International Day of Peace, members and friends of Roots & Shoots come together to promote peace.  All over the world, young people craft giant peace dove puppets from reused materials and fly the doves in their communities -- from the high peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro to the low plains of Kansas, peace doves fly, held high by hopeful hands!  Click here for more information!
