Our Mission

Voice for Peace, based in Bajaur Agency, Pakistan, promotes peace and the rule of law while seeking to extinguish violence, corruption, and terrorism. Voice for Peace promotes education and sustainable employment as tools that can deprive terrorists of new recruits, thus helping develop a more peaceful society. Originally founded with a vision of building schools to serve youth, mothers, and others in Pakistan’s neglected tribal areas, the advent of war has spurred Voice for Peace to expand its mission, cooperating with the United Nations, the Government of Pakistan, and other organizations to help meet the immediate needs of people displaced by systemic violence.
Voice for Peace seeks an end to violence in Bajaur Agency and the world, and is committed to promoting education, sustainable employment, and the rule of law without resorting to violence in any form. Voice for Peace affirms the innate and equal worth of every human being, and calls on every person and organization throughout the world to acknowledge this essential truth in word and action.

Now our Voice For Peace will be heard by the rulers. Please help me in growing Voice For Peace as peace is the need of everyone living in this world. The animals are also needing peace. At least we must show mercy on animals as they are also being killed without any reason. Through peace we can defeat terrorism and war.

Comment by Muhammad Khurshid on April 10, 2009 at 5:23pm: Today a large number of people of tribal areas of Pakistan have taken part in the prayers for the victims of earthquake in Italy, the country of my friends. Actually the TV channels in Pakistan were telecasting the prayers. "I feel spiritually present in your midst and share your anguish," said a message read out from Pope Benedict. The people of tribal areas were saying Ameen when the Pope was praying for the victims of earthquake. May God the Great save Italy from further disasters, which is the country of my best friends. The people of tribal areas are with the people of Italy in this hour of trial. Actually the people of tribal areas have also went through great agony as their areas have been bulldozed by the security forces of Pakistan. They know the pain of all those, who lost their homes in the earthquake. They know the pain of all those who lost their nears and dear ones in the quake. I have read this report and sharing it with you.
Italy held a state funeral on Friday for victims of its worst earthquake in three decades, as the death toll climbed to 289 and survivors voiced anger that houses simply collapsed.

Thousands of mourners prayed before 205 coffins covered by flowers and photos of the dead, laid out on the parade ground of a police academy in the mountain city of L'Aquila, the worst hit by Monday's 6.3 magnitude quake, before being taken for burial.

Small white caskets with the bodies of children lay on their parents' coffins, some with a favorite toy placed on top. The youngest was a five-month-old boy, killed with his mother.

"These dead will always be with us, each one of them. The children, the students, all of them," said 59-year-old mourner Daniela. "I'm filled with pain but we must remain hopeful. We're a strong people here, I've seen lots of courage and solidarity."

Piero Faro, who came to pay his respects to family friend Paola Pugliesi, 65, who died with her son Giuseppe, 45, said the sadness was mixed with "a lot of anger. Their building simply disintegrated. This should not have happened."

Some mourners kissed and hugged coffins during a Catholic mass led by the second highest priest in the Vatican, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone. Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi appeared emotional as he offered comfort to bereaved relatives.

"I feel spiritually present in your midst and share your anguish," said a message read out from Pope Benedict.

Flags flew at half mast on a national day of mourning, shops lowered shutters, airports stopped take-offs for a minute's silence and traffic wardens removed their bright jackets.

"I feel bitter inside for the people crying for 300 dead so we have closed the shop for them, for what it's worth," said Rome shopkeeper Augusto Costa.
