This version of the 2008 Report on the Global Peace Games for Children and Youth includes brief summaries of each country and participating organization. The web version of the Report (www.playsoccer-nonprofit.org) provides the full text submitted by the participating organizations, together with many additional photos. They tell a fun, joyous and educational story about the events and activities that took place in each country, and about the friendship and commitment of those children and youth to make the world a better place.

The Games embraced the themes of the United Nations International Day of Peace, the United Nations Millennium Goals and the objectives of FIFA Fair Play. Special messages were read at all sites from Mr. Wilfried Lemke, the Special Advisor to the United Nations Secretary General on Sport for Peace and Development and Mr. Joseph Blatter, the President of FIFA.

The 2008 Global Peace Games for Children and Youth took place in 49 countries with thousands of participants in communities around the world celebrating the Games and the culture of peace and nonviolence. Each participant at the Games had the opportunity to sign the Manifesto that pledges them to respect all life, reject all violence, share with others, listen to understand, preserve the planet, and contribute to the development of community.
