Mir Pace International is a Christian-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization working in collaboration with the Missionaries of Charity Fathers and various other local and international aid organizations. We welcome and embrace high school student volunteers without regard to race, religion or nationality. Through our volunteer International High School Student Mission ("IHSM") programs, Mir
Pace provides humanitarian aid and development initiatives to children and families throughout the world
who are suffering the devastating effects of war, natural disasters, poverty, abuse and abandonment. After
a disaster is no longer front-page news, victim children and families in much of the developing world still
languish in poverty and squalor, trapped in a daily struggle to survive amid horrible, often inhuman living
conditions.

Every disaster disrupts social environments differently according to a wide range of variables. Impacts of
disasters on affected populations include severe poverty, death, displacement, impaired health, and loss of
purpose.
Hope for a peaceful future can only be resolved by a political solution to the root causes
of crises. In the interim, humanitarian assistance is necessary to reduce vulnerability, alleviate
human suffering, and restore the self-sufficiency and livelihoods of disaster-affected populations.
Mir Pace is currently working in the U.S., the village of Tamahú, Guatemala and in
Tanzania, East Africa.

The advancement of the poor constitutes a great opportunity for the moral, cultural and even economic growth of all humanity. Let us look at the poor not as a problem, but as people who can become the principal builders of a new and more human future for everyone. ~Pope John Paul II~ |
