DESCRIPTION:3 FOR CHAPTERS PRESENT KWABI OF THE PEACE BUS \nSun June 18\, 6:30-8 pm\, Zoom \nTacoma\, Olympia\, and Seattle FOR Chapters present Kwabi Amoah-Forson\, who travels on peace journey with The Peace Bus.  Previous bus trips have involved distributing socks to homeless people\, giving peace-related books to children\, and distributing free meals to children. \nKwabi’s vocation is to teach about\, listen to\, talk about\, and act for peace.  As a grad student\, he sought advice from an academic advisor about “what” he wanted to be and was advised he should think about “who” he wanted to be.  He decided that what he liked was people of different walks of life coming together to work for a positive cause.  Kwabi decided to dedicate his life to doing humanitarian work and spreading peace.  He started by speaking and listening in Wright Park. He bought and fixed up a bus and made it the Peace Bus. \nIn the past few years are he ventured to the Mexican border and had dialogue with people on his way and border patrol when he arrived. During the pandemic he made sure that many kids in Tacoma were fed by delivering breakfast to kids in need in his Peace Bus.  One summer he worked with restaurants to feed hungry children.  This year he had a campaign to get computers to high school graduates who needed them for their future. He made an adventurous trip to Washington DC hoping to speak to the President about peace. Along the way he talked to people he met\, and made speeches at schools\, churches\, and other institutions. \nMore recently\, he spoke at the University of Puget Sound’s annual Martin Luther King jr. Celebration.  He rode the Peace Bus at the 17th of May Parade in Ballard.  He was the Grand Marshal at the Tacoma Daffodil Parade.  He was Santa Claus at the Eastside Community Center in Tacoma.  He gave an hour-long speech for Washington School Personnel Association to representatives of 295 school districts about the importance of helping others in need and his work as a humanitarian. He had a talk show last year about race and is speaking June 13 about Equity\, Economics and Ethnicity. This summer he will be teaching a peace curriculum that he created to high school and college students\,  “Peace 101” for the Peace Community Center Summer Youth academy. \nLast year he won the Sons of Norway Greater Tacoma Peace Prize. As Tacoma’s 2022 Laureate\, he went with Marilyn Kimmerling 2020\, 2021 Laureate to Norway and Iceland to join world leaders for the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony and to spread the message of peace. \nZoom connection info: Join Zoom Meeting \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/89144613758?pwd=VGM5UkpKWEZpVks4NHJjd2dXek5GUT09 \nMeeting ID: 891 4461 3758\nPasscode: 765154 \nOne tap mobile +12532050468\,\,89144613758# US\n+12532158782\,\,89144613758# US (Tacoma) \nDial by your location \n\n+1 253 205 0468 US\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 305 224 1968 US\n+1 309 205 3325 US\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n\nMeeting ID: 891 4461 3758 \nFind your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/k2zQ9dven \nInfo 206-789-5565 or wwfor@wwfor.org
