We annually mark this occasion at the Refugee camps in South Sudan. We have done so for the last four years. It works instrumentally in bringing people together and helped lift up their spirit up. We do hope it has enabled them to explore the meaning of peace too.
​We need to team up for peace,
Because, our peace relies on others!
