Cyarisima Divine, novice in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso, shares her experience
The Koumi Seminary organized a cultural evening on 03/09/2024 with the theme “Patriotic commitment for peace”. No doubt, due to the fact that the evening was organized by the seminarians, the majority of consecrated people were present. The bishop of Bobo-Dioulasso was also there.
The evening was marked by cultural diversity across the different ethnic groups of Burkina Faso.
The seminarians presented a poem about peace which said that it is possible as long as we believe in it. We can learn this from nature filled with various species capable of experiencing unity and peace, like ants and bees. They also presented a drama about solidarity.
The evening closed with the message from Bishop Paul Ouédraogo who said :
The weapon of victory is solidarity, because true peace begins with our conversion at the level of our families, societies and countries.
What can reduce poverty is not wealth, but sharing and solidarity.
