Something You Should Know About: The Peace Project.
– from the organizer, Judy Lucas, Cal State University, Channel Islands:
“…I traveled for two weeks in November with Patch Adams and 25 other clowns on their 24th annual humanitarian clowning trip to Russia. We visited sick or abandoned children in hospitals, orphanages and home hospices, clowning and sharing love, laughter and peace.
Action: I am gathering poems, quotes and prose pictures about peace* from writers around the world, of all ages and backgrounds, published or not. They will be arranged in a book, the proceeds of which will go exclusively toward building the world’s first silly hospital, a proto-typical model of health care delivery. www.PatchAdams.org. This one-of-its-kind hospital will treat patients free of charge using the most modern medical technology and alternative methods including humor, drama, art, music, playful architecture and old fashioned family-doctoring. There will be no insurance required or accepted.”
What: send one or more peace pieces *
When: DEADLINE: March 30th
Where: judy.fisk.lucas@gmail.com

First, sorry for the late notice; I’ve just heard about this myself. Second, though the people listed who are involved are poets, this is for anyone and everyone.
