Barrio de Paz (Peace Town), a non-violent youth movement in Guayaquil, Ecuador, is a piece of what PEACE-TAYO has in mind. It brings together street gangs to provide services to the struggling community. Gang members band together out of a need for unity, structure, and love when their social fabric has been torn apart. Mirroring the society that marginalizes them, gangs use this unity for domination and aggression.
Youth and peace worker Nelsa Libertad Curbelo Cora shows how this instinct toward oneness can be transformed into a power of service, life, and love.
Imagine this kind of youth movement spreading in Metro Manila. Our streets will be a bit safer, crimes will be a bit lower, things will be a bit better. This is part of what PEACE-TAYO wants to see happening in Metro Manila.
