The Children's World Peace Organization aims to empower children in Mexico, Nepal, and Kenya to create peaceful environments through a structured curriculum focusing on emotional intelligence, communication, and community involvement. Their programs, which have been successful in increasing student attendance and resolving conflicts, involve teachers and facilitators in activities over the course of a school year. The organization seeks to expand globally, particularly in the Middle East and South America, while focusing on fundraising efforts to support their initiatives.

to guess what other people are feeling,
including themselves, on a regular basis
