Bangui, Central African Republic - Educational programs are being held for Ambassadors for Peace and plans are underway to develop Youth Ambassadors for Peace clubs, a conference for women, and a fish farming project.
Fifty top leaders from Ouango, east of the capital, attended a one-day conference and were appointed Ambassadors for Peace. Our staff did a wonderful job of inviting key people and attending to them during the conference. The caliber of leaders who attended this conference was very impressive.
We met the Minister of Agriculture, an Ambassador of Peace, to set up a project for fish farming with a Christian minister from Singapore. It is good to see religious people investing in the country and Ambassadors for Peace working together to create substantial change.
Other activities being planned are a follow-up seminar in Galabaja for about 50 people who are interested in becoming Ambassadors for Peace. A Youth Leadership Seminar will be offered to students at Bangui University, and Youth Ambassador for Peace clubs will be established in three different areas. A meeting has been set up with the president of the women's groups in the area to prepare for a conference for women.
