Another fascinating day – this time training for several hours on Conflict Resolution and how it’s presented to the children. A flower is used for one person to hold until they have been heard by the other person clearly, using ‘I” statements and facts rather than judgments. It is mediated by one of the facilitators outside the classroom area while other students are learning about ‘Positive Actions”. This includes gratitude and several other responses to life’s challenges. All of these are being intertwined with Black Elk’s vision of the world when he was 9 years old.
On to another school tomorrow, where we bring drawings from the other two CWPO branches – Nepal and Mexico – sharing what peace looks like to them. The Kenya students get to draw and share what it looks and feels like to them as well! What a great Exchange Program.
Life is full of joy and wonder! Have an awesome day or evening!
Asante Sana (Thank you very much in Swahili) and kwaheri (goodbye).
Love and hugs,
Lou Ann
Your blogs are wonderful and let us all know the fabulous work being done in the name of peace and love for all these children you encounter. They are so lucky to have you in their midst. Your inner child is so alive and healthy and your vibrant energy and beautiful smile can only bring peace wherever they are shared. Thank you for taking this on and giving the world a chance to heal from the deep wounds our society has inflicted upon it. I am blessed to know you and witness your continual love for humanity. Bless you and your team there in Kenya. May this continue to grow and become a beacon for many of us to wake and make a difference by being in our hearts and sharing our love.
