Sri Tathāta spoke through a translator; he said how necessary it was that all those having an awaken consciousness should contribute to the coming of a better world and this by using their power of intention especially in group and at special times of connection with higher energies.

COE's Noah Miller Brings Arab and Jewish Kids Together Through Lacrosse
Noah Miller is a Burlington, Vermont native who went through the COE Spiritual Activism training and is now using the skills he learned to bring Arab and Jewish kids in Israel together through the sport of Lacrosse. The multiculutural team he put together is now competing at the World championships in Denver.
"To see Arab and Jewish kids celebrating a win together really seemed that this shared experience really showed a bridging between the cultural, the religious and all of the opposing narratives of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict," Miller said. "It's amazing how you see these snapshots in time when you see a sport speak to them and really helps to bridge the divide in communities."

PEACE, PEACE, PEACE ...now and forever
Peace is something we all want. We know it is more than the absence of war. We know it is a state of Being as well. We learn the words and seek the experience of inner peace for the road to world peace. Yet, what is this nebulous peace? With so many wars, confrontations, challenges and competitions, how do we ever even learn to live this word PEACE?
First and foremost, what are the appropriate words to describe what PEACE would look like? How would we know when we saw this in our lives? What does PEACE feel like? If you walked into a store or sat at a table for dinner, how would peace look differently than your present behavior? Recently I believe I began to understand the true meaning of seeking PEACE.

ICT Classes for Peace in West Africa Announces First Class of Graduates
 Femi Receives Meritorious Service Award from the Nigerian Government
As a contribution to the 30 communities in Ahiazu Mbaise LGA, Imo State, Nigeria, I started an ICT (Information and communications technology) training aimed at fortifying young people in the local area with necessary ICT skills to meet the demand for such skills and knowledge in the global environment.
Due to Femi's work to bring computer training and peace education to the communities in Imo state, the Nigerian government has honoured him with a Meritorious Service Award.
Femi used his own earnings to finance the programme and brought about great impact in the state at a time when young people are restless and violent. The next training programme has already begun and Femi is hoping to raise some funds for the project so that he can reach over 500 young people in the region.
