The Battered Women's Shelter and Rape Crisis Center of Summit & Medina Counties have come together with The Love Initiative to create the AKRON PEACE PROJECT.
The AKRON PEACE PROJECT‘s objective is to encourage peace within our self, home, and community. The project is hosting an activity-filled week that will take place September 25th -October 2nd 2010 throughout the City of Akron.
With the help of volunteers, sponsors, and supporters, activities will include an official proclamation of "Akron Peace Week" by the City of Akron, dog walk, speakers, interactive discussions, art show, meditation, travelling International Peace Museum exhibit, film, music (featuring Zach, founder of the Love Initiative and co-founder of Akron Peace Project) and more!
Proceeds stemming from this event will help support the Battered Women's Shelter and Rape Crisis Center in their efforts to support survivors of domestic and sexual violence on their road to healing and peace.
