On today’s episode, Bob speaks to Gwendolyn Myers, a youth worker from Liberia.
Gwendolyn is the founder and executive director of Messengers of Peace (MOP), encouraging young Liberians to volunteer for peace development in Liberia, Africa and the World. She was also appointed to serve as Liberia’s Ambassador to the World Peace is Possible Foundation in the Netherlands and USA.
Gwendolyn is a strong advocate for the UN Resolution 2250, which urges countries to include young people in peace processes and conflict resolution. Click here to see I Love Youth Work’s film on the study mandated under Resolution 2250: https://youtu.be/_dAXBItR0Oc
