	Operation Respect is a non-profit organization working to transform schools, camps and other youth serving organizations into safer, more caring and respectful environments. Founded by Peter Yarrow of the folk group Peter, Paul & Mary, Operation Respect's free Don't Laugh At Me program (DLAM) fuses music and video with highly acclaimed character-building curricula that give students the skills and sensitivity to interact compassionately and resolve conflict peacefully. DLAM can either enrich character-and-civic-education school programs, or start schools out with an effective, powerful introduction to such work. It helps to establish habits and attitudes of respect, and create a classroom climate that is free of emotional, and sometimes physical, violence; a place where students can grow to their full academic and human potential as productive and ethical adults. www.operationrespect.org

In using today's many levels of communication, WAFF works toward the goal of educating children about the virtues of cultural diversity, teaching them that we should see differences as a source of strength rather than friction. www.wearefamilyfoundation.org
	The United Nations was founded in 1945 to "save succeeding generations from the scourge of war." Since then it has been both a witness and a catalyst to an extraordinary transition in global relations. From the ruins of the Second World War and through the years clouded by nuclear threat and numerous regional conflicts, the United Nations has evolved into an organization in which the collective search for stability founded on peace and development is an overriding concern. Today, peace and security are no longer viewed only in terms of the absence of military conflict. The common interests of all people are also seen to be affected by poverty, hunger, environmental degradation and human rights violations which are often at the heart of national and international tensions. Educational resources on these and other issues are provided by the Educational Outreach Section of the United Nations Department of Public Information. www.cyberschoolbus.un.org www.un.org/Pubs/chronicle/
