The youth’s role in promoting peace

Secondary students from Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda on Friday completed a three day conference during which they acquired skills on promoting peace in their schools. The conference was organised by World Vision Rwanda.“We were taught that, as students, it is our obligation to inform fellow students of the dangers of conflicts, especially that come as a result of segregation based on colour, language or even wealth,” said  Juliet Larabi, a senior three student at Kiserian Secondary School in Kenya.
