GPE Shirts!
One of the biggest problems in attempting any project is usually funding. In order to help our organization run, we're selling GPE shirts.
Price is $26 with shipping. $20 without. Please be sure your address is correct when sending payment. If you do not require shipping, remove it from the total and include how you'd like to receive your shirt in the comments. Proceeds go towards our Rwanda project this summer.

About Us
The Global Peace Exchange (GPE) is an initiative to coordinate and expand the service based exchange opportunities
for students throughout the world. Operating under the auspices of The Claude Pepper Center for Intercultural Dialogue at
Florida State University and the United Nation's Alliance of Civilizations, the GPE functions to foster the construction of
a new civilization founded on mutual cooperation and understanding to support development and peace in the world.
Building upon a network of linked universities, students travel and work on projects with partner universities , NGOs, government agencies, etc. in the various regions of the world, GPE is a network integrating higher education and international development. Similar to the U.S. Peace Corps, GPE would employ relationships with organizations to offer student service opportunities relative to their area of study or expertise. The hope is that students return to their country with a shared understanding of the common human struggle to survive, a moral and ethical education about the issues affecting a particular area or culture and the hope to aid in the building of a new “civilization” of humanity. The best way to achieve these goals among the youth of today lies in service, as actions will always speak louder than words.
