Kibos Prison Inmates Join Global Peace March
Pressenza
- Inmates at Kibos Maximum Security Prison in Kisumu, Kenya, participated in the 4th World March for Peace and Nonviolence.
- Participants used written placards to form a symbolic peace sign and gathered in a circle with facilitators to express unity.
- The initiative builds on previous programs, including '#UnlimitedLove' and 'Seeds of Change,' which focus on internal renewal and human development.
Core Philosophy
- Participants define peace as more than just an absence of conflict; they describe it as a state of safety, relaxation, and inner calm for the body, heart, and mind.
- The central mantra of the program is: "I see you in me — in me I see you."
- This philosophy encourages individuals to look past external labels and walls to recognize shared humanity.
Impact
- The activities aim to foster nonviolence through internal transformation.
- The prison initiative aligns with global efforts, demonstrating that peaceful mindsets can be cultivated in any environment, including behind bars.
