  13. CHALLENGESA continuous and smooth communication is very important, and must always be maintained.Very limited income of the people in the communities/villages, where most people are joblessThere are still sources of conflict among others, such as land borders, and addiction to alcoholThere are still trauma, prejudice in each other

ACHIEVEMENTSThe people in the communities/villages are eager to live in peaceThe people in the communities/villages are willing to be agents of peaceIn general, the people of Ambon and another country like to help others, although sometimes it was hard to encourage them to work together with each otherWe have spirit, idea, commitment to be a peace maker wherever we are because We Are We Word

  16. PLAN FOR THE FUTURE Sustainable/continuous village/group/community discussions To make the communities work together in social events like cultural shows (peace through culture), in other voluntary social works To continue the Conflict Management Workshops

  17. We realized that there are many young people we haven’t touched, many youth in trauma and resiliency  need to be rescued and many effort need to put forward to prevent and to create an immune community to future conflict.
