CITIZEN DIPLOMACY
Kenyan John Tilji Menjo of the Maasai ethnic group, a former Board Member of International Cities of Peace, is on a peace mission to Japan. Hosted by the people of Saitama Prefecture, John has created the Peace Circle Project, where Japanese Children can learn about Kenyan culture and vice versa. “In Kenya,” John writes an update to International Cities of Peace, “most of the children have been directly affected by conflict and crisis. I have been taking them out under the trees’ classroom and engaging them in education, art, play and cultural activities. It became the first peace school in Kenya, as is now called Classroom Without Walls.” Recently, John’s Mandala Project sent 300 mandalas to “bring echoes of peace to the world.” We congratulate John and the peacemakers in Japan.
