Community Work
As young peacebuilders we must provide an alternative to the ugliness created by war. We need to help other young people to enjoy their life; to appreciate the natural environment and value the traditions and beliefs of their cultures.
In our discussions at CAP meetings, we have emphasized that we cannot wait for peace before we act in a peaceful manner. We need to nurture the ways of life that support our vision of how society should operate and the values it should exemplify. Peace is not something that is just given to you. It is something that must be consciously promoted and maintained.
Some examples of our community projects include:
Peace Garden Project in Colombia
Cultural Dancing Project in Burma/Thailand
Garbage Collection and Community Clean-up Campaigns
Tree Planting in Cambodia
