With an aim to help students gain proper knowledge on the use of different types of toys, a capacity building programme on “Anti-war Toys” was organized by peace channel on June 2, at Sacred Heart School Khuzama.
During the programme, resource person Susan Kulnu said that there were various types of toys of all ages that could entertain and educate children.
She pointed that playing with toys was an important tool in making a child understand the complex phenomena of the world around it.
Yet, she lamented that some toys that were available, unwittingly encourage factionalism and feud among children and teach them violence and eliminating one another.
According to her if we students unite and dream of a peaceful society and put efforts of changing oneself towards promoting peace then one day that dream will turn to a reality.
Later, students were invited to take an oath to strive towards reducing the use of war toys.
