Jimmy Carter

Hello! Today I’m going to write about something very important, peace. I’m going to write about the Nobel Peace Prize that was given in 2002.

Jimmy Carter

Jimmy Carter was awarded with the Nobel Prize of Peace in 2002. James Earl Carter Jr. is an American politician who served as the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981. A member of the Democratic Party, he also served as the Governor of Georgia prior to his election as president. Carter has remained active in public life during his post-presidency, and in 2002 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work with the Carter Centre.

The Carter Centre is a non governmental, not-for-profit  organization founded in 1982 by Carter. The Carter Centre’s goal is to advance human rights and alleviate human suffering, including helping improve the quality of life for people in more than 80 countries. The centre has many projects including election monitoring, supporting locally led state-building and democratic institution-building in various countries, mediating conflicts between warring states, and intervening with heads of states on behalf of victims of human rights abuses.

He received this prize for his work “to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development” through the Carter Centre.

I think that he has done a very good work. Now he is 93, and even with that age, he continues doing incredible things and trying to change the world to improve it. In my opinion the most interesting Prize is the one of the Peace. But I also think that all of them are very important because the ones who receive these prizes are incredible people that want to see a change in this unfair world.

I like other people too that had received the prize: Malala Yousafzai (Nobel Peace Prize, 2014), Roberts Edwards (Nobel Medicine Prize, 2010), Mario Vargas Llosa (Nobel Literature Prize, 2010)…

Hope you like it!
