d) Our Model for Community Peace Building Heal Zimbabwe Trust works to build PEACEFUL VILLAGES through grassroots institutions and actions. The villages are built in form of a community house which has a foundation, building poles and a roof. The building poles have daga to seal small gaps. Foundation When building a house we all put a foundation. In building a peaceful village, the foundations are the different people that are in that village. Village members include, men, women, youths, poor and rich people, children etc. Building Poles Building poles are the sticks that we use to build the wall of the house. In peacebuilding, these sticks represent the powerful people in authority, authorities and institutions/organisations that make our society to become peaceful. For example; traditional leaders, youth and women groups, political parties, Councillors, Dagger/mortar To ensure that the poles are strong, there is need to plaster them with dagga/mortar. This closes all holes and gaps to make it warmer. Therefore, our peace house POLES also want us to plaster it. We can plaster it by implementing dialoues, nhimbes and sports to promote peaceful relations Roof The roof is always provides shade to cover our building and to protect us from harsh weathers. In our peace village, the roof is the PEACE that we want to see in our community. PEACEFUL COMMUITY RELATIONS is the roof 3 ©Heal Zim 2016
