"I am what I am, because of who we all are."
As part of The Peace Exchange leadership program, Peace Builders from violence-plagued Chicago neighborhoods traveled to South Africa in the summer of 2016, 22 years after the end of apartheid.
The six young Chicagoans were welcomed by the Johannesburg Genocide & Holocaust Centre, explored solutions to inadequate housing with Start Living Green, lead an art therapy project for at-risk children with Lefika La Phodiso, and facilitated youth peace circles with Imagine Scholar.
