I am writing to you to let you know that I have recently started Peace Education Hub Sarajevo , at my University, which is the Center I have been trying to start for many years now, and with the international research project P eace building pedagogies in higher education: Peace Hubs , that involved Rwanda, UK, Colombia and Bosnia, the moment was right and the time was ripe for such a project.
My idea is to integrate teacher training, research, and resource materials development in the field of peace pedagogy, citizenship and human rights education, that will be based on integrative and interdisciplinary approaches of different fields in our University and primarily geared towards teacher education, professional development of teachers, and research with schools and community in peace building.
Since my MLK nonviolence training Level I at the Summer Institute has made a great influence in my professional and personal life. Since a lot of the ideas that I learned back at the time when I first attended your summer program have been influencing my curriculum that resulted in some modules in my courses and teaching, I thought that we should explore the possibility of collaborating and perhaps FINALLY making our collaborative project possible.

She was horrified that the baby and others like her were locked up in the prison with their parents. When no local guardian is available, arrested parents often must choose between bringing their children to jail with them or sending them to orphanages. The children can stay with the parent only until eight years of age, after which their future is bleak. Of course, it is all a matter of perspective.
With unreliable relatives, they could be abused or trafficked. In , Pushpa registered the day care for children of convicts. At just 21, convincing her parents was the easy part; convincing the convicts to hand over their children to a young girl was more difficult. Just two months after she first visited the prison, Pushpa had five children in her Early Childhood Development Center. She would pick them up at the prison every weekday morning, take them to the centre, and then drop them back in the afternoon.
Some of the children in her care had never been outside a prison in their lives! Initially, she struggled for funds and even sold off some of her jewellery to finance the school. Soon, her work was noticed and appreciated.
