Did you know that all three HealthEd Connect schools in Zambia contain the word PEACE? Kasompe Community School of Peace, Mapalo Young Peacemakers School, and Zamtan Community School of Peace - the three "Sister Schools" as we fondly call them. "Peace" is an important part of the philosophy and educational environment at our schools.
September 21st is recognized as International Day of Peace by the United Nations General Assembly, devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace by observing 24 hours of non-violence and cease-fire. As stated by the UN, "This year, it has been clearer than ever that we are not each other’s enemies. Rather, our common enemy is a tireless virus that threatens our health, security and very way of life. COVID-19 has thrown our world into turmoil and forcibly reminded us that what happens in one part of the planet can impact people everywhere." The 2020 theme for International Day of Peace is “Shaping Peace Together.” We are all invited to celebrate the day by spreading compassion, kindness and hope in the face of the pandemic. Stand together with the UN against discrimination or hatred. We can all shape healthy and peaceful communities.
