Peace Projects
Successful humanitarian projects have complemented the International Peace Belt’s journeys. Partnering with individuals and humanitarian organizations around the world, AFWP assists those in need and helps transform lives. From helping to build a safe house for battered women and children in Cambodia, to helping to build a school in the Ecuadorian rainforest, to supporting a grassroots orphanage for orphans of the AIDS epidemic in Tanzania (a current project for 2010), AFWP helps create the foundations for healthy, peaceful lives around the globe. Artists for World Peace’s ongoing projects at home and abroad include the following:
CHILDREN OF PEACE
AFWP provides educational and living expenses for children in need around the world. AFWP currently sponsors a child in India, Haiti, young girls in China, and the United States. AFWP’s goal is to one day be able to help a child in each country TIPB visits by covering educational and other necessary living expenses. AFWP’s latest Children of Peace project is supporting a scholarship fund covering high school tuition for children in Brazil. All proceeds from our Hats for a Cause in 2010 will benefit our scholarship fund.
BATTERED WOMEN’S SHELTERS/SAFE HOUSES (Cambodia, U.S.)
ANNUAL FOOD AND CLOTHING DRIVE TO ROSE BUD RESERVATION
From September to December each year, Artists for World Peace hosts it's largest undertaking, gathering blankets, toys, warm clothing and food for a reservation in South Dakota. This holiday drive is held in memory of Chief Luciano Perez, who began this event over 20 years ago. Each year we hold this event to honor the memory and life work of Chief Perez, who began this drive in honor of the Sundance way of life, and to honor his dedication to Henry Crowdog. Also through this effort, clothing is donated to people we work with around the world, and food is delivered to Connecticut food banks.
HATS FOR A CAUSE
Every winter AFWP brings together local artists to create one-of-a-kind hand-made hats. Raising money through donations and charity events, these hats supported the completion of a safe house in Cambodia for women and children who are victims of domestic violence. AFWP donations also provide abundant support to food banks and women’s shelters in local communities.
500 SHOES
AFWP hosted a fundraiser that yielded 1200 pairs of shoes that were flown, trucked, bussed and canoed up the Amazon River to waiting children in the Rainforest of Ecuador. Other 500 Shoes events include providing 500 pairs of new shoes for children in the favelas and orphanages of Brazil; in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti; and at the Rose Bud Reservation in South Dakota.
PARTNERSHIPS
AFWP assists artists and community leaders in other countries, partnering with them to realize their community aspirations. For example, in Ecuador, AFWP raised money that helped support the completion of a school for children living in the rainforest.
