\nKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 May 12, 2014 \u2013 A Warwick eighth grader, Grace Reed, won first place in the 溏心vlog免费B站 Gandhi Essay Contest with her essay titled, \u201cGandhi Didn\u2019t Just Talk.\u201d <\/p>\n


\nThe Winman Junior High School student focused on how she and others could demonstrate Mohandas Gandhi\u2019s practice of nonviolence in everyday life. Reed wrote: \u201cFor every child sitting alone at the lunch table, Gandhi\u2019s words could make a difference. If we all spread compassion and peace with our thoughts, actions and words, maybe the boy who always stands apart from the crowd will finally feel like he belongs. These peaceful actions can have a ripple effect and inspire others to do the same.\u201d <\/p>\n


\nThe 溏心vlog免费B站 Center for Nonviolence and Peace Studies sponsors the essay contest each year with 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s School of Education. The contest received 161 entries from eighth graders at 17 public and private schools.<\/p>\n

\nThe Gandhi Service Award went to Melane Goncalves, a Providence resident who attends Trinity Academy for the Performing Arts.<\/p>\n


\nThe students, their parents and teachers were honored during an award ceremony April 30, 2014 in 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Multicultural Center.<\/p>\n
