International Peace Park Expeditions

Charity Number: 27
http://peaceparkexpeditions.org

International Peace Park Expeditions, Inc runs experiential peacebuilding expeditions for youth impacted by conflict in International Peace Parks around the world. We have run programs in the proposed Balkans Peace Park between Albania, Kosovo and Montenegro, and are developing a program in Parque International La Amistad between Costa Rica and Panama. We would use funding from YOUR BIG YEAR to expand and enhance our programs in the Balkans and Central America for 2011 - and if enough funding were available - we would accept the invitations we received from local NGOs to work in Africa - in both the Great Lakes Region and in the West African Gola Forest BioDiversity Hotspot. YOUR BIG YEAR could help us bring our ambitious idea to scale - bringing innovative, powerful, transformative, experiential peacebuilding programs to youth around the world impacted by conflict, who need our help the most! Thank You for your consideration.
