Adrian Paul PEACE Website Launched
Adrian Paul has launched
AdrianPaulPeace.org, a website dedicated to furthering his goal
of Protecting, Educating, and Aiding Children Everywhere.
The original PEACE mission focused on helping children domestically. But since the devastating
tsunamis that struck Thailand in December 2004, PEACE has reorganized with a new international mission
to help the children and families who lost so much.
Upon its launch, AdrianPaulPeace.org is ready to raise funds and serve as a conduit to
organize assistance that will directly benefit the residents of the island of Koh Phi Phi off the southeast
coast of Thailand, especially children who lost one or both parents and have limited means of financial
support. Merchandise and auctions will also help raise funds for this important cause.
Please visit AdrianPaulPeace.org for more
details and contact information.
