The first of the two Creators of Peace workshops ended yesterday, the 13th May 2008. Eleven women from around Kenya, from various professions (Ngo sector, women’s organizations…) attended the three day session. One of the women described her hesitancy at having to mix with other women from other tribes – as she had been told not to interact with them by people in her community. At the end of the session, she shared how she felt ready and open for dialogue and facilitating forgiveness.

As a whole, the women made decision of change in attitude and were inspired to take on creating peace in their localities. The second and last Peace Circle workshop starts today, 14th May 2008, with 17 women participating – this will end on Friday.

A full report will be posted soon.
