Education is a very important aspect of life, for the worlds population to come closer and understand one another, education is needed. Greg Martinson did a good job in creating the organization of Central Institute, or CAI. with that organization in place many children in Central Asia now have the opportunity to have some education, they are now able to pick up a book, and learn to read and write.
One main focus of Central Asia Institute is to educate girls and women which in my opinion is a good idea; many women in those parts of the world are inferior to men, with education they are now a step closer in being equal to men. The other good thing about educating women is the birthrate will reduce as well as the children mortality rate.
Another positive aspect of educating children in Central Asia is school related activities can keep children out of major trouble, and helps with making them less ignorant.

The Meaning of Peace
When the word peace is mentioned the definition that comes in mind is tranquility, a state where everything is calm and no problems are present. Peace is related to other "supernatural" definitions, for example heaven; or even a church and to some people their own home. One other meaning for the word is when there is no war.
A generation of people that their lives revolved around peace were the hippies, the movement which started in the 60's. The life style they lived was peace orientated, and were strongly against the war; they successfully tried to spread those feelings around America.
Religion can play another major role with the meaning of peace; many of the main ideas of religion revolve around peace, and the spreading of it to all the people in the world. As well as eternal peace; once a person passes away they will go to an eternal peaceful afterlife.
A main stream logo for peace is the circle, with a "Y" in the middle, which is also know as the peace sign. The word peace has different meaning to every person, and everyone interprets the word in their own different ways.
