“I am not only a pacifist but a militant pacifist. I am willing to fight for peace. Nothing will end war unless the people themselves refuse to go to war.” -- Albert Einstein
UP COMING EVENTS
LINKS (FYI)
The African Diaspora Foundation simply works for peace.
We strive to achieve it through education.
When bullets are flying, progress packs up and swims across oceans to find safety.
When communities can not resolve their conflicts, collaboration moves out and fear, defensiveness, and selfishness occupy.
For centuries, Africa, has given the rest of the world its children and natural resources, and the world has benefited. Let us give back.
In the same way the classroom was used to teach English, French, and religion, we look to use the classrom to teach principles of peace, reconciliation and conflict resolution.
Please explore our website, join and support us in our collaborative effort to effect change.
