2014 African AMANI Revolution Tour
After a successful PIPO in Kenya, Peace Revolution network started growing in Africa, which paved the way to kick off AMANI Project. The project started by organizing two African Regional Fellowships; East Africa Fellowship that gathered 18 young African leaders from East and Southern Africa in a wonderful retreat site in Nairobi & West Africa Fellowship that gathered 15 young African leaders from all around West Africa at a dreamy site on the beach of Dakar.
The Peace Rebels who participated in these Regional Fellowships, continued their commitment to Peace Revolution inspired by their 3-day training. Eventually, seven of them made it to the first African Youth AMANI Fellowship in Thailand 14th to 28th February, with other 9 outstanding Peace Rebels from around the five corners of Africa.
These trained African Peace Agents & Rebels joined forces after these retreats and honored their commitments back home by sharing inner peace time with their communities. Africa tour has then started from 28th March and will continue till 30th April 2014.
