On Sunday 20th September, the young people of the Focolare had an online event on Zoom to celebrate International Day for Peace. In this event we used and discussed resources and propositions from the Living Peace project such as the dice of peace and the ‘time out for peace’.
As well as encouraging the young people to take regular time in their day to pray for world peace we wanted to do something which would materially help those currently affected by war and violence. After discussion and reflection we decided to carry out some fundraising within the group to help those in need, caught up in the crises in Lebanon and Yemen.
