Inspired by the simple idea that meeting your neighbors promotes peace, Danny Goldfield set out to photograph one child from every country on earth and find them all living in his hometown, New York City. Danny told his story of going to unfamiliar neighborhoods and showing up at churches, mosques, restaurants, hair salons, any place he could find to ask for help with the project. The resulting photographs and stories exist because of the introductions and generous spirit of clergy, business people, educators, politicians, journalists, artists, students, and families.
