"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY DAUGHTER????
Mary, age 15, volleyball participant has returned from the 2006 games in R.I. to sleepy Meredith, NH a changed person. She is ready to make a difference. She is ready to help. Help to make the world a better place. She is ready to put herself second, and the needs of the poor with voices not heard first. She is ready!"

• The World Youth Peace Summit is unprecedented in its scale and aspirations.
• The Summit will involve the active participation of the more than 25,000 participants, as well as the 5,000 dignitaries, media, and other guests expected to attend. Through web-based participation, the event stands to impact millions more.
• The most significant and enduring impact will spring from the vision and hard work of participants after the event: thousands of community-based social entrepreneurship projects designed and implemented to chip away at the barriers to world peace, and help make the world a better place for millions of children.
