Transforming Adversaries into Partners for Peace

 This week at the Center for Peace Education, our students are learning that mediation is a pathway for adversaries to engage in constructive dialogue and work toward lasting peace.

They are also learning that insulting opponents, spreading false information, and violating confidentiality can escalate conflict, prolong suffering, and lead to unnecessary loss of lives and property.

Mediation requires deep discipline. At its core, mediation is about listening, understanding, and building sustainable peace.

Peace is a Choice. Mediation is the Way!

 This month at the Center for Peace Education (CPE), our students are learning about mediation and the role of a mediator.

During Week One, our students learned that mediation cannot succeed through public boasting, intimidation, or refusing to follow the guidance of a mediator. Such actions only escalate conflict and prolong suffering.

At CPE, we believe mediation is the essential meeting point where constructive dialogue transforms into lasting peace.

Building Peace Starts in the Classroom

 “He who plants rice will not harvest thorns.” In my village, we know that what you put into the ground determines what you reap.

Last week at the Center for Peace Education, we finished our lessons on Values and Principles by asking our students to create their own "Class Contract." My heart melted when I saw their work:

Value: Kindness

Principle: Showing love to everyone

I am overwhelmed with joy seeing these young pupils embrace the lessons that form the foundation of lasting peace.

Together, we are planting seeds for a better and peaceful tomorrow.

YES! Thank you for your generous donations that make this work possible!
