We had so much fun with students from the Friends School of Minnesota and residents of the Hamline Hi-Rise this week! On November 15th, FNVW facilitated the first of two-part intergenerational art project that explores ways we can use our hands to build peace in our community. When you make a donation to FNVW, you make community peacebuilding events such as this one possible. Thanks for your support. We can't do it without you. | | | | | |
With Revolutionary Love,
