*In our community there is a saying that goes like “ An injury to one is an injury to all” meaning to say once you wrong one,you have wronged the entire community. However, you can’t even steal from one, for by doing so,you will have stolen from the whole community.

ABOUT THE LIAISON
Nkembe Kemwa Sylvain Xavier was born in Cameroon in 1978. He received his diploma in Cross-Cultural missions in school of Missions in Jos, Nigeria in 2014 after some years of volunteer missions in Madagascar, Niger and Tchad.
He is currently acting in Zimbabwe as a father to the fatherless, a brother to the brotherless, teacher, preacher, counselor, resourceful person to everyone, vulnerable caregiver and mostly as innovator of the concept of Peace Builders Specimen (P.B.S).
He believes that our common planet is facing such extravagant challenges because of the lack of peace at a local level, within oneself and within community.
Violence, according to Nkembe, has never been a means for a consensus. Veritable peace is the unconditional acceptance of others without any restriction. He has brought hope within families and assisted in conflict management within some specific cases in Benin Republic, Madagascar, Mozambic and Seychelles.
Nkembe’s passion of working to reduce discrimination within societies has led him to start learning sign language with Nzewe Centre at Sakubva, Zimbabwe.
To be the leading provider of peace in Mutare, Manicaland, Zimbabwe and outside the borders of Zimbabwe, he is working out on to foster peace as a consensus value and to provide high standard education on peace’s seed which is already dwelling in everyone and lastly to allow for growth and its implementation.
