Forgiveness + Peace = Unity

For most everything in life, there is a simple formula.  Of course, following that formula has proven to be the hardest part for all of us.  Whether it be math class or life class, formulas are easy to parrot, but hard to practice.  But that doesn't mean that we should not try.
In Bahrain, there are volunteers traveling to different villages to teach children and students the formula to unity. The Caravan of Peace project, as it is known, will target the children and students and use them to spread the word to their classmates and friends.  The purpose is to reach as many young people as possible in attempt to unite the country's young generation.  The students who carry these lessons back to their classmates are known as "Knights of Peace."  The will share the lessons of forgiveness and peace with them, and methods of working together, regardless of background.
This program has been put in place at a very crucial time, when many do not truly understand what is happening in their country.  They hear both sides crying for peace, but still hear of contention.  The education of these children, especially in this subject, will prove to be paramount in the future of the kingdom of Bahrain.
