Testimonials

I created Abomey-Calavi Peace Club in February 2019 after discovering the Peace Revolution Program, which radically transformed me. Since then, I have made my Self-Development a high priority because it helps me to remain a good person who contributes to the well-being of his community. Leading and directing this Club has allowed me to serve others, to share my know-how, my knowledge and to be useful to the community. I have improved my leadership in all aspects through my position within the Club.

Through our various activities and events, our peace club members are more considered as a group of like-minded people working for peace and development. Meditation and mindfulness practices give the chance to become better people and a reference in the community.

Creating a Peace Club is easy but making it sustainable isn't. If you want your club to last longer, you need to be very creative and develop projects that solve people's problems. Managing all these clubs was not an easy task but I learnt a lot especially in terms of project management, communication and marketing because we are selling a service which is meditation. The most valuable thing I took from this leadership journey is the fact that by transforming people's lives, I learnt a lot about myself and I became aware of the huge responsibility that I have which is to give back to my community.

Having been with the Ducor Peace club of Liberia for some years has empowered me in many ways; I have been opportune to work with a larger student community within Liberia and spread the message of peace from a different perspective - meditation and mindful practices. Personally, life has become more of a beautiful gift that must be appreciated and lived fully, I'm more of a happy person, and my inner light keeps me on a better path. Joining Peace Revolution (a project by World Peace Initiative Foundation (WPI) which aims at empowering peace clubs leaders and members has been a life-changing journey.
