But today there is change. For his work in &#8220;creating cultures of peace inside the schools,&#8221; Ilchi Lee, president of IBREA Foundation, will receive the Jos\u00e9 Sime\u00f3n Ca\u00f1as National Award by President Salvador S\u00e1nchez Cer\u00e9n of <span class=\"xn-location\">El Salvador<\/span> on <span class=\"xn-chron\">September 12<\/span> at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in <span class=\"xn-location\">San Salvador<\/span>. IBREA Foundation is a NYC-based nongovernmental organization having consultative status with the United Nations, whose mission is to empower individuals to understand themselves better, enhance their motivation, and be more mindful of their life choices and behaviors.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2011, IBREA Foundation has provided its specialized <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ibreafoundation.org\/what-we-do\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">holistic education program<\/a> in <span class=\"xn-location\">El Salvador&#8217;s<\/span> schools, which combines physical movement, endurance training, breathing techniques, readings and journaling, group work, and more. Through a process of managing strong stressors in the brain and body, students find ways to cope with the challenging circumstances of daily life. Says one student, Laura, whose mother was killed at the hands of a street gang: &#8220;IBREA&#8217;s program gave me tools to relieve my stress, my anger, my resentment. I see many kids around me falling into gang networks. I learned that if I don&#8217;t give up in <i>my<\/i> choice for peace, people around me don&#8217;t give up, and so will the people around them. That&#8217;s how we can eradicate violence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The award to Mr. Lee was made possible by the outpouring of\u00a0gratitude from the many teachers who witnessed the improved security of their schools and the lives of their students change for the better. IBREA&#8217;s program now reaches 25 percent of all public schools in <span class=\"xn-location\">El Salvador<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about IBREA Foundation <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ibreafoundation.org\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.ibreafoundation.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Logo &#8211; <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mma.prnewswire.com\/media\/736370\/IBREA_Foundation_Logo.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/mma.prnewswire.com\/media\/736370\/IBREA_Foundation_Logo.jpg<\/a> \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>SOURCE  IBREA Foundation<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"xn-content\">\n<p><span class=\"xn-location\">NEW YORK<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-chron\">Sept. 5, 2018<\/span> \/PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE\/ &#8212; In the last five years, over 62,000 children from <span class=\"xn-location\">El Salvador<\/span> have arrived at the U.S. border without their parents.
