9 They launched the Champions Walk for Peace - to lay groundwork for peace in Kenya, and to fundraise for it. What’s being done? www.walkforpeace.co.ke/join-us

10 The walk has already engaged people. From children, to warriors, to governors, many now hope for change. What could it achieve? www.walkforpeace.co.ke/join-us

11 They are inspired by Aegis’ work in Rwanda. If peace can be built after genocide, they hope it can be built anywhere. What could it achieve? www.walkforpeace.co.ke/join-us

12 The aim is to open peace schools in the Rift Valley and reach over 10,000 youngsters at risk. Like Horizon… What could it achieve? www.walkforpeace.co.ke/join-us

13 When it’s hot, Horizon rests under an acacia tree. There he dreams two dreams, over and again. Horizon’s two dreams www.walkforpeace.co.ke/join-us

14 In the first dream, he does well and becomes a doctor. He misses his parents but has a new family, and peace. Horizon’s two dreams www.walkforpeace.co.ke/join-us

15 Horizon’s two dreams www.walkforpeace.co.ke/join-us In the second he kills those who may have killed his parents. Revenge repeats the cycle, but to him, it feels like justice.

16 Horizon told his story to Aegis in July. He is ten years old. You could help decide which of his dreams comes true. When dreams come true www.walkforpeace.co.ke/join-us

17 The easiest to realise is the second. For the first, Horizon needs hope – and to see how hate can be overcome. When dreams come true www.walkforpeace.co.ke/join-us
