About Peace Journey:
Peace Journey sponsors groups of students and teachers on trips to select foreign countries on a mission of cultural exploration. Students travel to each culture, opening doors to communication and lasting friendships online and offline. ECOChallenge2020 creates a 2010 to 2020 year commitment to creating a culture of healthier kids who learn how to respect and be mindful of what they put in their bodies, as well as learn the best practices for eating and growing healthy foods, anywhere in the world. Each mission creates further awareness for youth to care for our planet by sharing the best practices online and offline with others, engage with cultures around the globe and come back home to help build school gardens. Each mission is documented and shared with schools, educators and parents.

As youth learn and share knowledge with other cultures online, in video/documentaries, and work hands-on with land nurturers and stakeholders, a baseline of change is created as youth build on ideas like commodity exchanges; micro-lending to help women farmers, build schools and gardens, engage with stakeholders, peacemakers, foreign governments and build an international co-op of healthy lifestyles, led by American youth.

"The Doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease" - Thomas Edison.
