Our World Newsletter
PTPI's Our World Newsletter brings students from across the globe together to learn what others are doing to make a difference in the world and to spread Peace through Understanding.

BeadforLife Newsletter
PTPI is thrilled to offer an exciting opportunity for US Student Chapters that will enable chapters to raise funds for their treasury, learn about another culture and help families pull themselves out of poverty. This is possible by hosting a BeadforLife BeadParty. Chapters will educate, while earning funds for Ugandan families and their chapter treasury. All US Student Chapters have received information on the promotion, which is valid through December 31.

Global Landmine Initiative
In Cambodia, foraging can be the only means of survival for people living in abject poverty. Yet, in areas where there are densely laid landmines, foraging can take a devastating turn. Often knowing the dangers of landmines, but believing that tattoos inked by Buddhist Monks will protect them, innocent young men and children face devastating consequences.

YOU can make a difference toward ensuring a safe existence for the people of Cambodia. In the first six months of this year, the PTPI-sponsored HSTAMIDS demining team cleared 3.16 acres of land, destroying 189 mines and unexploded ordnance. Use this resource to share with others how they can support PTPI's Global Landmine Initiative to ensure a more fruitful life for poverty stricken people in Cambodia!
