Nobel Peace Prize winner hopes to find peace through education

Nobel Peace Prize winner Martti Ahtisaari said Saturday that finding jobs for young people in the Middle East and Asia will be a major challenge to peace building in the next decade. Within the next 10 years, more than 1.5 billion young 15-30 year olds will be entering the job market. However, only 300 million on them will get a job because of poor education.

Therefore, Ahtisaari Ahtisaari, is working with a group in Qatar to educate young people in effort to continue building peace around the world.
