Culture of Violence

I teach Ancient Civilizations to 6th graders, mapping the 6,000-year journey of war and empire from Mesopotamia to . . . [the present] and molding young minds to consider alternative options to the culture of violence we are all heir to. ~Jaime Vergara, Saipan, EarthRise reflection, 2/19/07

This visionary teacher, who thinks we can evolve out of the culture of violence one 6th grader at a time, manifests a starting point of hope for children around the world. ~jpc

O to embody nonviolence. Namaste.
