Anne Esswein reports on the first Creators of Peace Circle in Germany held in February 2012

In Guatemala, a country that suffered 36 years of civil war, there are many institutions that work for peace, but the need for peace is still very large, and today more than ever. For this reason, with the conviction that peace must first start in the heart of each person, Helena von Arnim (Colombia) and Killy Sánchez (Guatemala) decided to work together to start Creators of Peace Circles in Guatemala, in the hope that they can be multiplied in all Latin American countries in the near future. In April 2012 the first two Peace Circles took place in the cities of Chimaltenango and Panajachel.
