Schools to meditate on peace in Africa
I Meditate Africa is a free peace-building campaign.
The largest peace meditation for Africa, by Africans, takes place on Africa Day on Sunday, 25 May.
Locals can head to the Chatsworth Youth Centre at RK Khan Circle, Arena Park, to be seated by 10am.
“I Meditate Africa is a free peace-building campaign, using meditation as a tool to promote peace on the continent,” said Priya Moodley.
In its second year ‘I Meditate Africa’ celebrates South Africa’s 20 years of democracy through a 20-minute meditation.
“The focus of the campaign this year will be on educational institutions. Schools across the continent will participate in peace meditations, in celebration of the dawn of democracy in South Africa.”
In 2013 on Africa’s 50th Anniversary of unification, an estimated 10 000 people from 23 African countries, 30 African cities and 54 International countries were led into the largest peace meditation for Africa.
Participating countries were: Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Cameroon, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Malawi, Uganda, Tanzania, Tunisia, Nigeria, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Namibia, Mauritius, Morocco, DRC, Zambia, Ethiopia, Togo and South Sudan.
“This is mass meditation with global participation – a unique event not to be missed,” said Priya.
