Local Activist and Author Team Up to Raise Money for Eradication of Land Mines
Heidi Kühn, a fifth generation Marin descendant and Peter Anderson, Marin native and veteran journalist, have teamed up in a unique way to raise money for Kühn’s non-profit Roots of Peace. The organization, dedicated to eradicating the over 70 million land mines scattered across 70 countries, will receive a portion of the proceeds from Anderson’s soon to be published book titled 100 Faces of Marin. |

The book will capture and portray the soul of Marin and will contain an assemblage of Marinites — famous residents such as Isabel Allende, Michael Pritchard, and Tom Johnston, of the Doobie Brothers will be featured along with local activists, politicians, educators, business people, humorists and artists.
“This is a true harvest of hope,” said Kühn whose “think locally act globally” philosophy has distinguished her as one of Marin’s brightly shining lights, says that Roots of Peace is thrilled about the partnership with 100 Faces of Marin. “The idea is brilliant — by honoring people in Marin whom we all know and respect, we are blending borders beyond our own backyards. That is to say, the help we receive from the sales of this book will have a direct impact on the vital life-enhancing mission of Roots of Peace. With the public’s assistance, this collaboration will help change the world.”
For every book sold, 5% goes directly to support Roots of Peace. Your donation can be deducted as a charitable contribution.

“As a fifth-generation descendant of Marin County, my respect for the soil beneath my feet runs deep. It is this deep respect for the land that inspires me to plant the roots of peace on earth. Triggered either by the boot of soldier or the sandal of a child, land mines maim and kill innocent victims of war long after the guns have silenced. These seeds of destruction must be removed from the earth so that the roots of peace may be planted.”
