On Wednesday, September 18, more than 1,500 primary and secondary school students and members of youth organizations are expected to march for peace in Roseau, Dominica. To commemorate this event, the Minister of Education Hon. Petter Saint Jean will sign a Memorandum of Agreement to support an international peace law, the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) to spread a culture of peace throughout all of Dominica.
Students will gather at the cruise ship terminal and march toward Windsor Park Stadium. During the event there will be performances, a poster contest, and brief speeches from the Minister of Youth, National Youth Council President Alexander Beron, the International Peace Youth Group (IPYG) and United Nations-affiliated peace organization Heavenly Culture World Peace Restoration of Light (HWPL), which has toured several Caribbean countries from St. Kitts and Nevis to Belize to Antigua and Barbuda — who signed the DPCW with HWPL earlier this year.
“This peace walk could not have come at a better time,” said a local Roseau restaurant owner. “It’s exciting to see Dominican people, especially the youth, come together.”
The peace walk is being organized by the Dominica government in partnership with IPYG. IPYG’s vision is to mobilize youth around the world to cultivate a culture of peace within their communities. The youth of IPYG accomplish this purpose through youth advocacy, youth empowerment and peaceful campaigns similar to Wednesday’s Peace Walk. A similar Peace Walk will take place in Belize next week.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
