Pennies For Peace
The
Brookhaven Free Library will participate in a “Pennies for Peace” campaign
from June 1st 2010-August 20th 2010. “Pennies for Peace” is a program of the
Central Asia Institute (CAI), founded by Greg Mortenson – author of the #1
New York Times best seller, Three Cups of Tea. CAI is a registered 501(c)3
nonprofit organization that promotes and provides community-based education
and literacy programs, especially for girls, in remote mountain regions of
Central Asia. Founded in 1996, CAI has built, to date, nearly 100 schools in
Afghanistan and Pakistan, which serve more than 28,000 students – over
14,000 of whom are girls.
How can a penny bring peace? It doesn’t buy much in our community. However,
in the villages of Pakistan and Afghanistan, a penny can buy a pencil, start
an education, and transform a life. The Pennies for Peace program goal is to
encourage our children, who are ultimately our future leaders, to learn the
value of philanthropy by collecting pennies for global peace. The collected
pennies will be used to purchase school supplies and other necessities for
students abroad. If you and/or your child would like to donate,
please bring your pennies to the Brookhaven Free Library from June 1st
–August 20th. For more information please contact Melissa Fried at
286-1923 or visit
