"Nina
Lynn Meyerhof, Ed.D., President and Founder of Children of the
Earth, has made a life of advocating for children and youth. The
co-author of Conscious Education: The Bridge to Freedom, she is
recognized as an innovative educator committed to global responsibility
through authentic learning. Nina has received many awards for
her work from The Mother Theresa Award to the Citizens Department
of Peace Award to The International Educators Award for Peace
as well as the State of Vermont passed a Resolution honouring
her for her life’s work in PEACE. Nina advocates for young people
to go beyond cultural, ethnic and religious differences and strive
for altruistic ethics. She moves around the world assembling adults
and young people to focus on the potentials of bringing ethical
living skills into world consciousness. Her focus is on the realization
that peace must come from recognizing our interwoven unity. Nina
founded and coordinates Children of the Earth which houses approximately
30 YOUTH Hubs and Chapters such as in Thailand, Nepal, Romania,
Canada, Ghana, Togo, Switzerland and more. Projects are carried
out in the pursuit of building a world of unity with the awareness
that peace can only begin from inner understanding that we are
a global family. Some examples include helping to establish the
first Children’s Peace Center in Ghana, fostering the building
of schools in Nepal, teaching the making of bead bracelets for
refugee children to sell in the US, to a youth group’s work on
the Niger Delta, to the Teddy Bear project bringing hundreds of
bears to war torn areas. Nina is a totally passionate committed
world peacemaker and world server." (from http://www.evolutionaryleaders.net/leaders/nmeyerhof)
