Reposting this cause this person said everything I want to but better than I could (everything below was written by Claire at theregularweirdpeople.com):
A good friend of mine works for PeaceJam, an international education program that brings the knowledge of Nobel Peace Laureates to youth around the world. I pretty much piss excellence, joy and beauty when I am around them.
“Piss” is not a word they employ with any regularity at PeaceJam. However, I do.
A couple of years ago I participated as a mentor in a PeaceJam Slam which brought together youth from all over the mountain region to Denver for a day of awesome discussions, awesome lectures, awesome goal planning and an awesome speech by Naomi Tutu (daughter of the awesome Desmond Tutu) who inspired us to be even more awesome than we felt in our awesome glands. I was blown away by how involved PeaceJam had made these students. They were, by themselves, creating all types of programs in their schools, neighborhoods and cities from picking up trash to raising money for African NGO’s. They were taking on huge projects and accomplishing deliverable goals. I very much enjoyed encouraging their continued awesomeness…and wanted to be more like them! Please check out their website and learn more about how to be involved with the organization.

Well, PeaceJam is currently auctioning off a series of acoustic guitars (Taylor Big Baby Model 307) EACH signed by 10, TEN Nobel Peace Laureates on EBAY! These include:
The Dalai Lama
Archbishop Desmond Tutu
Rigoberta Menchu Tum
Oscar Arias Sanchez
Mairead Corrigan Maguire
Jody Williams
Shirin Ebadi
Jose Ramos Horta
Adolfo Perez Esquivel
Betty Williams
Now THOSE are some sounds I can get behind. I’m fairly certain that we can all support peace, love and music on this blog so get in on this bit of Nobel history and OWN it. It’s not every day that the Dalai Lama signs a guitar. It’s currently unknown what great powers these guitars can bring you, but me thinks they involve the powers of diplomacy, mediation and the famous and funky “peace” booty shake.
LET THE EBAY BIDDING BEGIN!!
If you don’t think this is awesome…then your conscience is LAME.

normally I don't do blatant self promotion for the nonprofit that I work for, but they really need to sell these guitars and raise some money, plus they're totally 1 of a kind, so it's win/win. And I figure there's a good chance of someone on LP being a music buff who would also like to have their money go to supporting a good cause. |
