Bor,
Mar 30 (Jonglei Times)-The inter-schools peace competition
was organized by the Kreative Nile Family, an independent drama group, and
registered community-based organization operating in Bor under VISTAS/USAID
founded program. The competition drew thirteen schools (six primary schools in
town, one primary school in PoC, and six high schools).

The interschool drama
festival’s theme was ‘Supporting
school-aged youth peace messaging in Bor’: the categories for the
competition were drama, coral verse, solo verse, storytelling, essay writing
and debate. The adjudicators were transparently selected through interviews,
and more accountably, gender impartiality was highly considered.
Majak Makuach Majak a
14-year-old boy who presently attends the Martyrs Primary School, Bor-wins the
inter-schools peace competition prizes in solo verse recital and best
constructive speaker in debate.
“It has been a crucial time
for my teachers in helping me intensely know the connection between the practical
arts and debate, I have also learned from KNF instructors how to firmly recite
solo and coral verses with an accuracy to ensure self-confidence” Majak
optimistically said.
Majak was raised by unschooled
peasant parents who toiled to offer all he needs and he means the world to them.
Majak has many friends that he would love to be in the position he is in now: but
getting an education at an upcoming local school such as Martyrs Primary School
keeps young inspiring and creative pupils away from many different cultures in
South Sudan and Africa as a whole.
‘Unfortunately, many pupils
of Majak’s age are as privileged as Majak but lack ample support to cherish
their creativity. Majak feel very privileged and he thanked the Nile Kreative
Family for their pivotal role in mobilizing schools for this enlightening
competition, and he gave back to his school appreciation for building trust in
him. He promised to be bringing amazing prizes and new standpoints to school
and Jonglei state as a whole at national level’
‘We are awfully pleased
by Martyrs Primary School and the achievements of all school communities in
Bor. The teachers and parents have worked in partnership to create a positive,
stimulating teaching and learning environment where children strive to meet the
scholarly, divine, physical, expressive and resourceful needs in their care’
said Mr. Dhieu David Dau, the managing Director and co-founder of Kreative Nile
Family in an exclusive interview.
The Martyrs
primary school was established in 2015, a mixed primary school with general
school attendance of approximately 1, 040 pupils this year, 2017.
The school
is a believer in continuing present quality basic educational programs; the school
teachers are working hard to deliver high materials to their
learners in the school, this is done through wide range of creative and
simulating experiences and activities which are provided so that each child has
the opportunity to develop to a full potential.
As part of the competition,
there was a continual sense of unleashing dissemination of accurate and
reliable peace messages in different angles. This provides a basis for participatory
peacebuilding amongst societies and it’s identified to be a corner stone of
conflict transformation.
