Page 3 of 6
1. Coordinating agent for peace by providing training, skills to community, churches and NGOs
leaders. It is a Christian NGO providing service direct and indirect.
2. Involving in capacity building to communities to solve conflict peacefully and to live with
harmonization in helping fulfill each other needs and to reduce poverty. On the other point is
to see the peace builders in communities working as educating agents, the culture of peace
building in community. And regarding to conflict resolution in the commune and to eliminate
the bad unacceptable culture, the differences in families religious believes. Rather through our
activities, the communities could receive resources and know how to use it for the benefits of
all in the purpose of common development. We want our lessons here reached the far flung
areas of the country.
Mr. Daniel: It would be better to start from the children from primary education because if we
take a lot at the peace frame work we have to spend about 50 years.
ED: the example of a colonel in Philippine who had taken the course related to peace and he
has brought back this to the soldiers in the unit to be trained for peace by having partnership
with other NGO to train on peace. What he has done is a little difference from previously that
soldiers are normally trained to be cruel and fierce in war, rather were trained to be peaceful.
Group 3:
1. A community that people say I live in a peace. A community is free from violence and we
want to see that our vision to be equipped and use the same by peace builders and
community people.
ED: This makes me remember when I went to Siem Reap and I saw Gosanandhas
pilgrimage sentence on peace. It is the theory of transformation which is similar to ours.
Minea: I hope we maintain our vision of Peace Bridges to peace builders by training them
to have the same way of using the same vision like us.
Daniel: It is like a cell which is transformed it body. This makes me think of a story called
Transformer III. The transformation has to be adapted to the circumstances. We have to
be aware of the word that just to observe the blow of the wind, so like to observe the
situation of needs of society that Christian and communities want and also the value based
as well.
ED: regarding to the needs to fulfill our agency. Our agency is the learning agency from the
start. For instance, in fulfilling the development needs Sunrise NGO has worked on
HIV/AIDS. This is because in 1995 there were many people living with HIV/AIDS were
isolated. But for now not much people living with HIV/AIDS to work on, then Sunrise NGO
has to changes its direction which is so as Peace Bridges is doing right now.
Group 1:
1. Peace Bridges is a Christian NGO that provides peace education to community to Christian and
non Christian by training to leader through mobilizing peace builders and providing technical
and financial support and consultancy and conflict resolution services.
2. We are like the tree. The root is our work which is being done. The soil is our partners and the
fruits are like our results.
Minea: well, to me that the tree in this picture is like a tree growing by the sewage system and
it grows well. If it is compared to peace builders is like they live in a bad community as well as
the morning glory that growing in Boeung Tompon Lake. In this bad situation make it grow
well so like the peace builders if they live in this circumstances they will absorb the bad and
transform into good, sweet quality of peace builders.
