Pennies for Peace
Dear Families,
Our church is participating in a community project to collect pennies for peace. All pennies that are collected will be donated to the official Pennies for Peace organization.
Pennies for Peace is a program of Central Asia Institute (CAI), founded by Greg Mortenson – author of the #1 New York Times best seller, Three Cups of Tea (available at the Manning Library). CAI is a registered nonprofit organization that promotes and provides community-based education and literacy programs, especially for girls, in remote mountain regions of Central Asia. Founded in 1996,

CAI has built, to date, nearly 100 schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan, which serve more than 28,000 students – over 14,000 of whom are girls. How can a penny bring peace?
A penny doesn’t buy much in our community. However, in the villages of Pakistan and Afghanistan, a penny can buy a pencil, start an education, and transform a life. In a region where terrorist organizations recruit uneducated, illiterate children, that pencil can empower a child to read, write, and learn. The Pennies for Peace
program goal is to encourage our citizens—youth and adults, and our present and future leaders, to learn the value of philanthropy by collecting pennies for global peace.
The Aurora Theatre and all partners in town will collect pennies for the month of June. Thanks for promoting world peace—one penny at a time!
