Mission
Provide an opportunity for people to discover similarities, embrace differences, develop compassion and foster forgiveness.
Transcend racial, religious, socio-economic, physical and intellectual prejudice and unite on a deeper and more meaningful level.
Inspire curiosity about different cultures, lifestyles and modes of thinking. Ignorance breeds prejudice, apathy and fear; knowledge breeds compassion. When we know, we care.

Theme of the Month
What role does religion and spirituality play in the creation and destruction and preservation of Peace? Consider this as it pertains to inner peace and peace in one's family, community, environment, country and world.

Queen Bird
QueenBird! Queen Bird!
Come! Listen to the stories of children
Peck, Peck grains and eat them up
Explore the message of PEACE
Listen! Hear the children's stories
Knowledge is in human beings
They give their lives happily
To spread the message of PEACE
We are the young people of India
We have the message of Loyalty
Everywhere the candle will be lit with PEACE
The people will live together in PEACE
