🌍 Connection in Action | News, Stories & Support from PTPI


“Peace and friendship are not a product of words, but of deeds.”
— President Dwight D. Eisenhower, PTPI Founder


Dear PTPI Members and Friends,

As summer unfolds, so does the heartbeat of PTPI—across every continent, in classrooms, online, at public events, and around family tables.

In this edition of Connections, we’re reminded that even as the world shifts, the soul of our movement remains clear: building peace, person to person.


đŸ”č Highlights from the Global Network

✅ PTPI Mombasa, Kenya: With ongoing support from members like Mike and Mary Hermida (North Carolina, USA), a student named Laureen Akinyi is thriving in her final year of high school. Our collective support is not only shaping futures—it’s saving them.

✅ PTPI Senegal: We’re proud to confirm their 3-year chapter charter renewal. Thank you to President Manel Diallo for your enduring leadership and partnership.

✅ Warsaw, Poland: A small but mighty gathering rekindled the spirit of exchange, with voices from multiple generations, including PTPI alumni now pursuing careers and higher education. The group also visited Katowice and Krakow, reconnecting with former student participants—many now entering university—proving that the friendships sparked through PTPI continue to grow across time and borders.

✅ Tallinn, Estonia: Eesti People to People continues to impress with impactful civic engagement projects, including their participation in the “Build It Together!” CERV conference in Malta.

✅ Delaware, USA: The Circle of Understanding on climate change in Kiribati, and continued public diplomacy programs, show how local chapters are leading on global issues.
