The Peace Bus
Apr. 29, 2021
Over the past several years Kwabi has worked to promote peace on multiple levels within the Tacoma community and nationwide. In Spring of 2017 he was inspired by Peace Campaigner Brian Haw of London, England, and began campaigning for peace at Wright Park in Tacoma. Every Saturday for several months, Kwabi would take peace posters, a radio, and a megaphone to the park and hold conversations with people about what peace meant to them. He called it The Peace Camp. This then led him to travel to different parts of the Northwest, California and eventually parts of Europe, having conversations with everyday people about peace. After finishing this campaign, Kwabi began a local podcast called The Real Peace Podcast, interviewing people in the community on the subjects of peace, interpersonal connectivity, conflict resolution and the importance of culture and diversity. Being inspired by great humanitarian, Abie Nathan, in 2018 Kwabi began taking flight lessons for the sole purpose of becoming a Peace Pilot and to attempt to be the first person to circumnavigate the globe in promotion of world peace. Due to the costly nature of flight lessons, he stopped taking lessons but decided that he still wanted to promote peace with a vehicle. This is where The Peace Bus was born. In the beginning of 2019, Kwabi bought a 1988 Mitsubishi Van and named it The Peace Bus. With this bright blue vehicle, he began to distribute brand new socks to those experiencing homelessness in the city of Tacoma. In the spring of 2019 the media was in a frenzy about the immigration crisis and the major atrocities that were taking place in detention centers all over the country and at the Mexican Border. Kwabi had an idea to take The Peace Bus to the Border or Mexico in order to interview the Border Patrol about the immigration crisis and to reveal the truth behind it all. This massive peace campaign was called The Peace Bus: Journey to the Mexican Border. Kwabi assembled a team of 3 to go with him on the journey. By receiving donations from the people of Tacoma and across the country, he raised enough money to take the trip. The Peace Bus embarked on the Journey of a lifetime to the border of Mexico in August of 2019. Kwabi and his team stopped in major cities along the way to give out socks and blankets to those experiencing homelessness. After having the incredible opportunity to interview San Diego Border Patrol as well as educator of Non-violence, Michael Nagler, Kwabi came back to Tacoma where he shared the entire experience online. Local News stations heard about The Peace Bus Journey and began to publicize the humanitarian organization. During the fall of 2019, Kwabi took The Peace Bus to schools in the Tacoma area to talk to kids about non-violence, kindness, compassion, and what it means to show peace. Since then, he has helped to distribute breakfast cereal to over 300 families in need during the coronavirus outbreak, and recently delivered Christmas presents to over 200 kids whose families have recently gone through financial hardship. For Kwabi, the pursuit of peace is the most important endeavor in which we must pursue. |

Allan Belton has served as PLU's 14th president since 2019, helping the 132-year-old university renew its commitments to community investment and social innovation. In particular, Belton will highlight recent partnerships that have strengthened community health resources, as well as preview plans for future investment and program expansion. During his years at PLU, Allan has developed a strong vision for PLU’s future. He is deeply committed to the mission to educate students for lives of thoughtful inquiry, service, leadership and care—for other people, for their communities and for the Earth. He is focused on the success of PLU students and providing them with the academic programs and support services they need to pursue their education and meet the needs of a dynamic world. Allan is committed to the belief that PLU will be defined by its uniqueness as a university guided by the values of Lutheran education and will be transformed into a model for other universities, rooted in its calling and highly-engaged in the community. Prior to joining PLU, Allan enjoyed a 25-year career with Bank of America Merrill Lynch, where he served most recently as Managing Director in global treasury management for higher education, government and non-profit organizations. Allan grew up as the youngest of eight kids in Zillah, Washington, and was the first in his family to graduate from college.
