Teachers on Thursday gathered at Juba Technical Secondary School to form peace clubs in the schools in collaboration with the Organization for Nonviolence and Development or ONAD.
Basilica Kapuki Marcellino teacher of Juba Orphanage Home, who chaired the meeting, says they target children to become ambassadors of peace to avoid growing aggressive.
She adds that they want to avoid violence created by the ongoing conflict in the country.
