This is of interest mainly to folks near KY, but perhaps this PeaceCasters program, below, of the Ctr for Interfaith Relations will inspire other interfaith groups to do something similar: neat program for kids:<div><br></div><div><div>"PeaceCasters create digital media projects ranging from creative film pieces to journalistic interviews. </div><div><br></div><div>You'll apply your new skills in the real world. PeaceCasters have the chance to meet and interview famous authors, musicians, faith leaders, and politicians! PeaceCasters are like CIR's news reporters, so you'll have inside access into our big events, like the Festival of Faiths and Faith Leaders Forum.</div><div><br></div><div>You'll also make new friends from diverse religious and ethnic backgrounds. Never met a Muslim or Hindu before? Now's your chance to find out you're not so different!"</div><div><br></div><div>Also note below the Festival of Faiths event scheduled for November...</div><div><br></div><div>Erik</div><div><div>--</div><div>Erik Hoffner</div><div>Orion Grassroots Network</div><div>888-909-6568</div><div><a href="http://www.oriongrassroots.org">http://www.oriongrassroots.org</a></div><div><br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><div>The Orion Grassroots Network provides services and support to grassroots organizations engaged in ecological, social, and cultural change. </div><div><br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div></div></div><div><br><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br></div> <!--Copyright (c) 1996-2009 Constant Contact.
