Maya Soetoro-Ng, Ph.D. | Ceeds of Peace – TRANSCEND Media Service
We support and build bridges between families, community leaders and educators to share resources and develop action plans to strengthen our communities and improve our children’s lives. Imagine if we were to plant these Ceeds of Peace around children and youth, and cultivate these skills in the adults who interact with them at home, in schools, and in the community, wrapping them in the practice of these skills every day?
