The International Peach Quilt project began as an idea back in September 2008, the idea being to unite schools all around the world.\u00a0 Many of the schools that have participated so far are international schools.\u00a0 The quilt was inspired by the Summer Olympics in London 2012.\u00a0 Just recently, the International Peace Quilt gave up update on their progress.\u00a0 See their update letter below:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dear All,<\/p>\n

Since our last update The International Peace Quilt Project has received further drawings from Azerbaijan,Chad, Fiji, Ghana, Guam, Iran, Malta, Micronesia,Montenegro, Morocco,Nepal, Romania,Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Sweden,Thailand, United Arab Emirates, and Uruguay. This brings the total number of Countries with drawings submitted\u00a0to 138.<\/p>\n

From the list of Countries we wished to reach below, we now have made contact with schools from The British Virgin Islands,Grenada, Guam (who have submitted their drawing),Guatemala, Hong Kong,Mali,Nicaragua, Peru,Trinidad & Tobago,Swaziland, and Switzerland. We expect to receive 22 drawings\/countries that have been promised previously \u00a0to be submitted in \u00a0the early part of 2012 from\u00a0Algeria, Antigua & Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia, Bhutan,Canada, Dominica,Estonia,Finland, Guinea,Honduras, Iraq,Kiribati, Kuwait,Liberia, Leichenstein, Mauritius,Panama, Papua New Guinea,Rwanda, Solomon Islands,and Tuvalu.<\/p>\n

The non for profit organisation, The Haynes Foundation in The Carribean has also offered to coordinate the project in Barbados,Cuba, Puerto Rico, St.Kitts & Nevis,\u00a0 St. Vincent & The Grenadines and The U.S. Virgin Islands for us. Therefore all going to plan that takes the number down to 29 Countries that we still wish to make an initial contact with.<\/p>\n

Again thank you so much to all Directors,Principals\/ Heads,Staff and Students. Without you all, this Project would not be where it is today. You can all be so proud of what you are creating here.This really is a Global message for Peace from children all over the World as a celebration of the Olympic Games and beyond.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Also a week ago we set up a group in Guisborough called the Friends of the International Peace Quilt. This group is made up of several of our quilters, a Director from the Towns magazine and a couple of other very interested people also from the town. The idea behind this group is that it will coordinate exhibitions\/displays of the Quilt.The group will also help to keep on top of any quilting and help with promotion of the project. It was felt that now more heads were needed to help with everything around the project which can only be a good thing.<\/p>\n

Just to remind you all again of the Olympic Educational Resource which is available if your school wishes to make use of it,<\/p>\n

Looking to the future,<\/p>\n

We see all 205 Countries who are participating in the Olympics, with drawings submitted and all joined together in the International Peace Quilt Project. We see this quilt being a very creative message from Children in every Country in the World for World Peace,all as a celebration of the Olympics 2012.<\/p>\n

Best Wishes,<\/p>\n
