Give Mom a Wider, Wiser World—and Give the World Your Story

Maybe you've already ordered the flowers, bought the candy, scheduled the spa. Maybe you're one who waits to the last minute for inspiration. Either way, it's not too late to give mothers and others what they want most: a peaceful planet. And it's never too late to send her story, or yours, to Peace X Peace.

Women know that peace grows when we connect across cultures. A $40 contribution to Peace X Peace will admit a woman you love to four months of live, weekly, interactive teleconferences that pique her curiosity, open her heart, and expand her horizons within a global community. The Women's Global Roundtable, co-hosted by Peace X Peace and UNIFEM/USA, convenes these weekly conversations with ordinary extraordinary women everywhere whose lives have been touched by the United Nations Women’s Fund.

Your contribution of any amount will allow women in developing countries to participate in the Women’s Global Roundtable and the global conversation in the Peace X Peace Global Network.

• $40 gives her four months of the Women’s Global Roundtable
• $100 underwrites the work of a Global Liaison in East Timor, Israel/ Palestine , or Kenya for one month.
• $250 supports one month of staff outreach to grassroots women’s organizations around the world, bringing thousands of women from Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East into our Global Network.

And best of all, since the Deep Democracy Challenge is still in effect, every dollar you give will be doubled by our DC real estate angels, Michael Schaeffer and Claudine Chetrit.

Please donate today, and invite your mother, daughter, sister, mentor, or beloved friend to honor the earth 365 days a year by joining Peace X Peace. On our new website (www.peacexpeace.org), she can connect as an individual or part of a Circle with like-minded women elsewhere in the world. Online conversations can be automatically translated into English, French, Spanish, or Arabic.

We're also collecting stories and photos for the new home page feature Raising Our Voices. Many thanks to all the women who have sent us stories already, and a warm welcome to those who haven't yet. Keep it short, simple, and straight from the heart. Send it to story@peacexpeace.org. Pass the word! And have a peaceful Mothers Day wherever you are, whenever you celebrate the givers and nurturers of our life on earth.

Contact Molly Mayfield Barbee, Development Department, molly@peacexpeace.org with any questions you may have about donating to Peace X Peace.
