What's New

Participants were introduced to five young inventors on the second day of Peace Camp. Many of these ideas were inspired as ways to help other children facing special challenges (image 1). 

Louis Braille was just a boy when an eye injury made it difficult to continue reading.  Ricky shared the story of how he developed the system of raised dots that is still used by blind people. He was only 12 when he started to develop his system. She also had some familiar children's books with braille. Then each camper made a braille name tag for themselves (image 2).

Starting the first day of Peace Camp 2019, Pat Johnson led a discussion with the twelve participants (ages 6-9) about what makes each of them feel safe.

The camp's theme is about how children have been effective in working for change. This first day focused on Human Rights and Peace.   Pat read a book about Sadako Sasaki who worked for peace following WWII by trying to fold a thousand origami cranes.  We all folded cranes together.

After outdoor games and snacks, the children created a storyboard about the things we talked about.

After Meeting for Worship on July 28th, Charley & Chris Skinner, former members of Cannon Valley Friends Meeting, presented an update on their work at the University For Peace https://www.upeace.org in Costa Rica. They invite people to learn more about the school and support its efforts to work for peace throughout the world.

Have you noticed The Wandering House here and there around Northfield? 
This public art project has converted an ice house, so often a place for conversations and contemplation with friends, into an audio recording studio for collecting Northfielders' impressions and memories about HOME.
