University of Nairobi Students
A few weeks ago, I met with four students from the University of Nairobi. The students asked FECCLAHA to facilitate peace and reconciliation workshops to student body leaders. They wanted to end tribal division in Kenya by first addressing its prevalence on their campus. I was extremely impressed with the students’ willingness to be vulnerable and to share their struggles with resisting tribalism and ethnic stereotypes. I helped plan a two day workshop and facilitated a group study addressing issues of conflict and reconciliation in the Bible. In the end, fifty five student leaders gave up their holiday week in an effort to be trained to unify their campus.
