The Bruderhof is an organization for which I have great respect. They send out a weekly Peace Calendar email. In this week's edition was a link to a site about the efforts of the 5th–8th grade students of the SpringValley Bruderhof School in Pennsylvania. The following words are from their website. I hope you'll take the time to look at it.
The Flight 93 Memorial:
September 11 changed all our lives. Here in southwest Pennsylvania, the crash of Flight 93 in our "backyard" directly affected us. We, the children of the Spring Valley Bruderhof School, wanted to give people hope and help them find peace. So we decided to transform a dilapidated barn near our school into a memorial to the victims of terrorism and war.
In Memory of Eric Hull:
The Peace Barn's memorial to a local soldier killed in Baghdad helps us remember all the soldiers killed and wounded in Iraq, their families, and all the other people on all sides who are suffering because of war.

This reminded me of this week's edition of A&E's Breakfast with the Arts (one of my favorite things about the weekend) which included a segment on various uses of Creative Art Therapy.
