What started as a US Congressional mandate to aid orphans of 9/11, the Matt Lamb Umbrellas for Peace initiative has grown into a worldwide peace movement:
16 countries
over 60 events
touching millions of people
The Umbrellas for Peace project aims to embed the message of
peace, tolerance, understanding, hope and love throughout the world. Its goal is to protect against aggression and war by generating peaceful intercultural and multilateral communications.
Matt Lamb works tirelessly with children and teenagers throughout the world who paint colorful umbrellas. Computers, video games and electronic devices are left behind, this is about hands-on creativity and an introduction to the arts. Most Umbrella workshops end in a colorful parade with Matt leading the way towards peace, tolerance, understanding, hope and love.
