The Peace Mala Educational charity works with schools across the UK. We also have one school in Florida USA…Sunrise Academy.
We encourage pupils to live by the Golden Rule, to treat others as you would wish them to treat you. Our project stands up to bullying and all forms of prejudice. We encourage young people to engage in creative, compassionate education that embraces all cultures and encourages cohesion, diversity, global citizenship and respect for all.
Our pupils are already contributing to a more compassionate and just world. They are already making a difference.”
