We all laugh in the same language!
We will plant seeds of coexistence and have the trees shout their voices out, the grass whisper them all around the world, making it a place where people are proud of who they are and what they want to become. A place where every man, woman and child can safely express their feelings, emotions and beliefs, A place were everyone accepts and respects one another no matter the differences. A place where everyone gets an equal chance to be who they really are.
We will pour hope into every river, brook and stream and let the world quench its thirst with laughter and with fun, filling it with the sweet sound of pure and innocent children at play.
We will hug the world with endless acceptance, warmth and compassion, making it a place where people are kind to one another just for the sake of being kind. A world where we love our fellow man almost as much as we love ourselves, and where people derive satisfaction from caring, supporting and giving one another whole heartedly.
With love we will banish all worries from the world, let them scatter in the winds forever.
We will let wisdom, diligence and persistence be a beacon of hope to all who dare to dream and struggle for Peace.
Using all of our power we will spread the joy of giving, creating a world of abundance, where every child and adult is healthy, happy, content and free.
Together, we will make laughter the language of the world!

How YOU can help!
Dear Friends of the Jerusalem International YMCA Peace Preschool,
Some of you have asked about donating. PLEASE do not feel obligated.
Each year the Peace Preschool continues to advance its mission of coexistence. Sadly, many parents cannot afford the $6750 yearly tuition fee and have to apply for scholarships. A well known secret is that we accept ALL children that want to be in our Preschool, even if they lack the funds to do so. This is where YOU can make a difference- with the help from supporters such as you we can continue to achieve our goal of providing a unique early education and coexistence experience for our students of all faiths and their parents.
Any amount you can donate will help to support our scholarship fund.
There is no way to donate directly to the Peace Preschool via credit card or PayPal yet, but you can send a check to:
Mary Tikalsky
YMCA of the USA
101 North Wacker Drive
Chicago, ILL 60606
USA
and designate the check for the JIY/Peace Preschool. There are no fees or deductions of any kind and 100% of the contribution will go to the Jerusalem International YMCA.
Thank you so much! Without your sponsorship, none of this would be possible.
Another question has been asked frequently- how can people send used toys, costumes, dolls etc. this is the address of the Peace Preschool:
Adena Levine
Peace Preschool
Jerusalem International YMCA
26 King David Street
POB 294
Jerusalem
91002
Israel
Make sure you mark the packages as “used toys” and “gifts”.
Thank you all again for your support! Please don't forget to let your friends know about this program and the beneficial influence it has.
We can and WILL make a difference.
Peace, Shalom and Salam!

As a courtesy, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is allowing certain items for use as mementos to be taken aboard shuttle mission STS-129. Our preschool has been given the opportunity to send a banner into space! It's in the shape of a spacecraft, it would involve the children and connect with Archie Harte (Heart to Heart). Archie Harte had a vision of the YMCA to be a place when… Continue
