Congratulations to Heidi Thomas Kühn who has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize by the International Eurasia Press Fund, an independent and international, non-governmental organization based in Baku, Azerbaijan. Heidi is being recognized as the Founder of Roots of Peace and honored for her efforts to turn MINES TO VINES — replacing landmines with vineyards and orchards worldwide. Planting over seven million trees on former minefields, she has impacted the lives of millions of farmers and families living in war-torn lands worldwide.
Heidi along with her sons, Tucker and Christian, and Roots of Peace are corporate members of our Club. Heidi's grandfather, William Thomas, was president of our Club from 1941-1942. In 1997, Heidi made a toast in her living room that the world might go from “Mines to Vines,” launching Roots of Peace
The winners of Nobel Peace Prizes will be announced in October. We are rooting for Heidi!
