See the World, be the Change



On Thursday we had the awesome experience of doing an Interfaith Walk for Peace, Justice, and the Environment. It was an amazing chance to voice our passion for these three hot topics in the world today. We made posters, read poems, sang songs, and various other art forms and then presented them in our affinity groups at each of the four sites on the walk. The sites that were represented were Boston Common, the Mary Dyer Statue, the African American History Museum, and The City Hall Plaza. Each stop had a significance on the walk and allowed us a venue to share our presentation on a specific topic, such as religious intolerance. We talked about men and women that had died for their faith, and also saw engraved stones in the Garden of Peace Memorial for homicide victims in Massachusetts. After the walk we had some free time to spend in Boston, giving us a chance to unwind and relax with friends.
