The Afghan youth tucking in for the night at the peace vigil
The peace volunteers spend their night in a makeshift tent
When struggling together, humans can bring some warmth to the cold
Like new breakthroughs, waking up can be tough
Zekerullah’s morning vapor
The cold of Afghan autumn nights will not stop us as we raise the voice of peace
Abdulai’s morning vapor

Dear Afghan youth peace volunteers,
Here are a few photos from our place of vigil. We’ve had the opportunity to really talk to over 300 people about your message. Several thousand have seen your message as they drive by the Afghan Youth Peace Volunteer signs in their car or truck.
We have a few videos that we will send soon.
It does seem that the recognition you have requested from 2009 Nobel Prize Winner could be very significant. Most Nobel Peace Prize winners are good writers and some have given great speeches. We’ll ask Obama to consider delivering his response to your elegant appeal for the Reconciliation of Civil Hearts in the form of a speech.
Peace be with you inside your hearts. . .
. . . soon in your lands.
We love you,
Vigil with Afghan Youth Peace Volunteers, Olympia WA
Dear friends of Iraq Memorial to War at Olympia, W.A.
Thank you for all your hard work for peace in our hearts and the world.
The human face and voice of peace needs to be raised ABOVE the noise of war and politics.
Love and warmth from Bamiyan, Afghanistan
