Mahatma Gandhi said: "Be the change you want to see in the world."In this sense we want to create change in individuals, in ourselves and in structures, so that we foster positive change in our societies in order to build a peaceful world together. It needs reflection, it needs mutual understanding and it needs action. And that is what Father Barwendé Médard Sané does: he integrates his convictions into his work and therefore combines reflection with action with the appropriate balance of openness and curiosity. I am proud of having the chance to work with him in order to contribute to just and sustainable peace for the population of Central African Republic. Karin ROTH, Coordinator of AGEH Civil Peace Service Program in Central African Republic. As I read this book, I realized that I was praying at the same time. This essay can help people of all ages and backgrounds, anywhere, who have experienced times of violence and tension of all kinds. At the end, we are invited to set ourselves in motion, personally before the Lord, to rebuild and help others to rebuild and recreate peace and unity. Fr.Edouard TSIMBA, Rector of the Major Seminary of St Marc/BANGUI /Central African Republic.
