Hello PAX Leaders from Dr. PAX, himself.
Some very nice PAX Elves told me about how fabulous you are all PAX Leaders. A long time ago when I started t create PAX, some very wonderful young people like you helped tryout all skills we wanted young people like you to have. I had helped young people whose moms, dads and other loved ones had to gone help with a war in Iraq. The Secretary of Defense of the United States gave me a high-honor for that world. Some of my young students told be that it was good that I could help children harmed by war (true), and they thought I should do something to make the world for peaceful for children. Initially, I thought I did not know how to do that. So, I began teaching my self by reading all sorts research and practices—just like when I helped Sesame Street devise a way to protect children from being struck by cars while playing. So, I read many scientific papers, and I asked many wise people for advice and recommendations. Every week, I tried to make thing a little bit better—using careful watching and improving. And it worked. In just a few years it was working well. Then, some organizations gave us money to make it better and spread the strategies in more and more schools and for families. Now, there are millions of children just like you, who are using PAX strategies. Using scientific methods, we have been able to make PAX a little bit better almost every day—so you and millions of other children, families and communities can have more Peace, Productivity, Health & Happiness. Thank you for being PAX Leaders. You are making a world of difference.
