"We must start with the children."
- Doris Twitchell Allen
Some history
In 1946, Dr. Doris Allen had an idea that eventually came to change the lives of thousands of children and adults across the globe. If kids were दिया the chance to learn about other cultures and make international friends, they would द्वारा default, be less willing to fight कहा friends. Thus they would choose to work towards world peace.
What started out as a single camp with delegates from eight countries in 1951 has now expanded to seven different international activities, with over 190,000 people having participated in over 500 activities. Will आप be one of them अगला year?
