PeaceJam ( http://www.peacejam .org/ ), Penguin Young Readers Group (http://us.penguingr oup.com/static/ html/yr/index. html ), and the Pearson Foundation ( http://www.pearsonf oundation. org/ ) have announced a new initiative, the PeaceJam Global Call to Action Challenge. The challenge offers young activists everywhere the chance to work directly with a Nobel Laureate in their own school. The Global Call to Action Challenge is an extension of the newly-published Penguin Young Readers book, "PeaceJam: A Billion Simple Acts of Peace." Through PeaceJam's Global Call to Action, Nobel Laureates such as the Dalai Lama, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and Rigoberta Menchu Tum are asking young people around the world to commit themselves to creating a billion community-serving projects in the next decade.http://www.globalca lltoaction. org/
