Our Commitments

Since moving up to the White Mountains we have found it difficult to continue the annual walk for violence awareness. However, our commitment to educate about violence awareness and to promote peace is as strong as ever. Jane and Amy continue to serve on the Board of Directors of the Garden of Peace, a Massachusetts memorial honoring victims of homicide. www.gardenofpeacememorial.org. Since 2000, we have been actively involved with "Chris' Crusade", a program promoting peace in middle schools. Students are encouraged to write essays, poetry etc. as a means of finding peaceful solutions to many of today's conflicts. Each year we offer the Christopher Maki Scholarship Award. This award is available to graduating seniors at Lunenburg High School and St Bernard Central Catholic High School. Interested seniors are encouraged to contact their guidance counselor for applications.
