CWPO exists to enable children to create a more peaceful environment in their schools and communities and, by feeling safer and more secure, empower them to grow up to create a more peaceful world. The organization was founded in 2010 and currently has programs in Mexico, Kenya and Nepal. We are looking to form alliances with Rotary Clubs and other international service organizations to help fund expansion of our programs.

for the group and in
ourselves

silent time
Teacher Involvement
Teachers might want to use Silent Time as a
tool to quiet students before lesson plans or

their love lights shine brightly
Teacher Involvement
Could wear a love light as a commitment to
share your love light with the students.

relaxation techniques for better focus

Students notice the impact feelings have on our bodies,
minds and environment. They grow in empathy by
guessing what others are feeling. Students become
open to changing their feelings to something better.
Teacher Involvement
To grow empathy, teachers could ask students
to guess what other people are feeling,
including themselves, on a regular basis

49. Circles of Awareness - Spirit
Students think about connecting to the world
and their environment with love and
understanding
