Project Report | Nov 1, 2023
We are running towards peace!

By Michelle Martin Romero | Board President

Fifteen years ago, Perkin Educational Opportunities Foundation, Inc. opened the doors of Amún Shéa School as a community-led solution in response to the lack of quality education opportunities in rural Northern Morazán, El Salvador.  

A significant part of this solution is creating an environment that values peacemaking and teaches peace culture.

Let us be clear: At Amún Shéa, we run towards peace. We never run from it. Our staff works hard to create and maintain a school environment filled with peace. This includes instilling a culture of peace. We know that to promote an environment of peace and non-violence, it is important to recognize and practice the principles and values that guide us to act with respect for the integrity of people and their rights. We are running towards peace and joy like our life depends on it...because it does. In a world ridden with violence, we choose peace. In a society where pain is the only thing on the TV screen, we choose hope. We are committed to showing and teaching a better way: the Amún Shéa way.

Please be sure to check out Amún Shéa's Facebook page to hear and see students' messages about peace from the September 21st International Day of Peace events.
