Making a Difference
“Human beings have the biggest heart. And when they decide to share kindness, it’s unparalleled.”
— Prem Rawat
In the UK, volunteers are supporting a number of different peace projects - the main ones are below.
Peace Education Programmes in the UK
The Prem Rawat Foundations’ Peace Education Programme has been taking place throughout the UK in a variety of settings, including community settings, retirement facilities, educational establishments and rehabilitation projects. The beneficial impact that this programme has had on attendees has been noted in both recent research reports and in the reflections of attendees. Social Impact organisations are always welcome to apply to host the programme, and volunteers are equally welcome to support the programme in whatever setting they feel comfortable.
