ELEPHANT FOR PEACE KENYA-YOUNIB: DRAWING ACTIVITY

These drawings were done by Street children (Street children are poor and homeless children who live on the streets. Many of them were rescued from streets; for some their parents were found dead because of being murdered and for many other reasons). The YOUNIB (YOUTH NETWORK FOR INTERRELIGIOUS BROTHERHOOD) has organized several activities to bring them to rehabilitation centers where they can be well educated like other children and to have a chance to have a home where they can feel loved.

Responding positively to the initiative entitled “Elephants for peace” and promoted by Elephants for Peace and Living Peace International, an activity was organized with street children in rehabilitation center in Nairobi-Kayole. In line with Elephant for peace and living peace international, the goals were to have a deeper understanding of the values typical of peace; to work to build peace; Show that we wish for peace in our highly problematic and controversial global context; to Improve our teamwork ability and respect for each other; to develop creativity; to develop friendly relationships among people.

In the photos found in the gallery, we can see how the little ones despite their painful backgrounds came joyfully together to draw elephants which are a symbol of peace, a mix of strength and peace. Each child drew and decorated an elephant according to his/her ability, to his/her age, respecting each other; and all this under the guidance of the YOUNIB ANIMATORS. The result of this was so amazing.

May God bless us all so that we may all be peacemakers and peacekeepers. The smile on the face of these kids was an expression of gratitude to LIVING PEACE INTERNATIONAL AND ELEPHANT FOR PEACE.

Thank you so much!

THUMBS UP EVER THE BEST.
