With Cameroon facing a very critical moment in its history, when everything has failed to bring back the peace that is desired and cherished, Cameroon needs to review its educational system. Peace education is a timely intervention and the best weapon to fight against terrorism and violence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeace education is education for human dignity, and is capable of dismantling a culture of war that is pervading Cameroonian society,\u201d said Mforndip Ben Oru, the coordinator of the Cameroon Peace Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>At the close of the launching, it was agreed that peace education is the pathway to a culture of peace. The next stop for the Campaign will be in Bamenda in the North West Region of Cameroon. The Campaign intends to visit all 10 regions of Cameroon.<\/p>\n<p>The Cameroon Peace Foundation is seeking $5000 to support the next steps of the Campaign.
