The Living Peace International network continues to work tirelessly for peace around the world, especially involving the youngest. From Italy to Brazil, from the Holy Land to Costa Rica, young and old throw the Dice of Peace and dedicate themselves to moments of prayer with Time Out.
Last May, the EoC team visited the participants of the business training project in Santiago de Cuba. And they met two of the activities supported by the EoC Hub and the Economy of Francis. The project is closed, but its buds continue to grow.

We are almost finished with the work. The new building of Morifindugu Junior Secondary School in Serekolia gleams with fresh paint. The commitment of an entire community has borne fruit for the many children who will be able to attend the new middle school.
The new school built by AMU in Sierra Leone is seen as a wonderful opportunity for the youth of the community. Opinions are unanimous: it is a good thing for everyone, for the children and for their parents. And it is a social investment for future generations who will be able to stay here in their land.
The Living Peace International network spans the entire world. Every day there are activities, initiatives, commitments for Peace everywhere: from Congo to Brazil, from Syria to Belgium, and of course also in Italy. We tell you about some of the many actions in which LP was the protagonist in the month of May.
Youstina was the director of the project I, Ambassador of Peace. She is an Egyptian girl with a contagious smile. Taking on this role was a precious experience for her, with unexpected consequences.
Since becoming Ambassador of Peace, Fibi Nabil has applied in her daily life the values underlying the AMU project: solidarity, respect for differences, dialogue with others. A great change in the lives of people and of Egyptian society itself
Ecological latrine, drinking water, desks and chairs are now available to the pupils of the secondary school of Serekolia, in Sierra Leone. This phase of the project A school for all has ended, with the fundamental support of the entire community.
The second Living Peace International Congress took place in Castel Gandolfo (Rome). 160 people from 40 different countries participated. A Portuguese boy says: “There are no words to describe what I feel now that the Congress is over”.
The first peace workshop organized by AMU took place in recent weeks at a primary school in Grottaferrata (Rome). 300 children were joyfully involved in reflections on peace. The most beautiful result? Their words.
Love, respect and acceptance of others are fundamental values to spread the culture of peace. And school is the first community – outside the family – where children can learn and put them into practice.
