Our Quote of the Week reminds us that building peace is something we must all do every day, in every aspect of our lives. As Shriver says, peace is much more than the absence of war: it requires treating people with justice, respect, and dignity, both abroad and at home, in public and in private.

Our Quote of the Week underlines the urgency needed in liberating all human beings from the scourges of discrimination and poverty.

October is Head Start Awareness Month! Our Quote of the Week reminds us of the success of Head Start, the War on Poverty program that combines early childhood education, nutrition, health, and social services programs for children, while encouraging active parent participation. This two-generation approach both aids with child development and supports the skill building of parents.
