Being part of the Peace Summit of Emerging Leaders was a splendid opportunity for me to learn a plethora of eye-opening information. At the summit, I was given the opportunity to Throughout the Summit, I listened to speakers that gave enlightening speeches on the topic of peace-building and sustainability. as well as part-takeI also took part in group discussions and think of initiatives for peace-making with delegates from all over the globe to brainstorm initiatives for peacemaking. Despite lasting three short days, this event left me with an impression of hope that will last me a lifetime.
One of my highlights was able to understand the war happenings in a neighbouring country. I distinctly remember Miss Ms Ly’s speech about her time during the war in Cambodia. It brought me to tears learning about the genocide that occurred in our neighbouring country. A remark that still holds dear to my heart is ” it’s better to light a candle than to curse the darkness “.
In addition to the enlightening presentations, the Peace Summit allowed me the opportunity to exchange ideas and connect with like-minded people from all over the world. Having the ability to converse with a diverse group of people who shared my passions, goals, and dreams was gratifying and encouraging. The Peace Summit certainly gave me hope for my generation and the future that we will build together through peace, patience, and kindness.
