The areas where the holistic centers of the Foundation are located, are characterized by high levels of violence, where murder and intimidation of the community are everyday life. Among the most common root causes of violence, we find hunger, seeds of hate, shame and power struggle. During these past years we have contributed to the nutrition safety of our beneficiaries, but this year we went on a retreat called “Peace Builders” with 80 children. Each form of violence requires a specific treatment, but we’re convinced that educating children to become builders of peace, and stop reliving the known models of violence, will help us erradicate these patterns, and improve respect for life, norms and communication.
