The Leahi Peace Garden, established in the year 2000, was created by teens from around the globe to promote peace and cultural understanding and now stands as a symbol of solidarity and hope.

The collective project allowed VAAMP students to have a meaningful exchange with Hawaiian teens as well as make a positive and creative contribution to Hawaii.

Special thanks and appreciation to Ms. Asciutto, K-Dub and Ms. Marston - as well as all who participated in making this project a success!
