The following are narratives from participants of the Peace in Focus/Jamaa workshop, which took place in Burundi during August 2008.

The participants are 8 boys and 8 girls between the ages of 14-17 from Bujumbura and the surrounding region of Bujumbura Rural.

They are former child soldiers, orphans of HIV/AIDS and the war, refugees, displaced and homeless youth. They represent the rich ethnic, religious, and cultural diversity of Burundi, and their stories represent an emerging narrative of resilient and dedicated youth from the Great Lakes Region of Africa.

Their voices speak of a vision for peace and social change, which they wish to share with you.
