It's probably not worth much, but in Afghanistan and Pakistan pennies can provide children with valuable literacy and educational opportunities. That means more economic opportunities for these children and a greater chance for peace. Donate your pennies today! Visit the circulation desk at the RVCC library.

Pennies for Peace commemorates the legacy of Abraham Lincoln and is a program of the Central Asia Institute (CAI). The CAI's mission focuses on community-based education, especially for girls. A 5th grade education for girls improves not only the basic indices of health for her and her family, she will also spread the value of education within her community. Literacy, for both boys and girls, provides better economic opportunities in the future and neutralizes the power of despot mullahs and other extremist leaders.
