“2022 had its challenges, but the collaboration and hard work of many people meant it was a successful year for Peacemakers. We do not know what the future holds; what is clear, however, is that what the world needs to face the challenges we know about, and the ones we don’t, is compassionate, courageous, conscientious citizens. We are preparing for just that, planting seeds of peace through peace education.”
