Glenn Paige Nonkilling Schools: A Plea
POETRY FORMAT, 6 Aug 2012
Francisco Gomes de Matos – TRANSCEND Media Service
Nonkilling: A Poetic Plantation.
To establish a school aimed at genocide-prevention education
calls for a compassionate, courageous, Nonkilling transformation
In the village of Kazimia, Eastern Congo, a Glenn Paige Nonkilling
School can be found
where children -victims of war, disease, abandonment – now hear a
Life-improving sound
May that pioneering African initiative become globally known
and the good seeds of Nonkillingly-inspired schools will be sown.
