🌍 Building Peace from Within: A Workshop on Peace Advocacy 🤝
We are thrilled to share the success of the Peace Building Workshop held in Bamenda, led by Mr. Bache Samuel, Ambassador for Peace Building in Cameroon. This transformative event brought together civil society organizations, including Hope Spring for All Nations, empowering them with the knowledge and tools to foster peace through community involvement.
The workshop emphasized a profound truth: Peace begins with individuals, radiates into homes, and grows into communities. True and lasting peace cannot rely solely on governments or political parties—it starts with us, the individuals.
Through engaging sessions, participants explored:
✅ The importance of knowing what peace means as humanitarian actors.
✅ How to advocate effectively for peace while involving communities.
✅ Principles for sustainable peace advocacy, shared by diverse speakers.
As part of this incredible initiative, Hope Spring for All Nations remains committed to amplifying these insights. We will share them with our team during our upcoming capacity-building session to further strengthen our work in building peaceful and united communities.
Let us all remember: Peace starts with me. Peace starts with you. Together, we can make a difference. 💙
