I did not plan to be a peacebuilder. I planned to have a quiet life. But education changed my trajectory. I met teachers who showed me there were ways to understand conflict without violence. Teachers who showed me my trauma did not have to define me. Teachers who showed me I could use my experience to help others. Education saved my life. It gave me language for my experience. It gave me tools to process trauma. Now I work to make sure young people in conflict zones have access to that same education. I fund schools. I train teachers.
Education as Salvation
