Peace march in Kingston, Jamaica

 

The Violence Prevention Alliance (VPA), which is on a mission to create a violence-free Jamaica, is hoping to send a powerful message for peace on 4 March, 2008, in Kingston, Jamaica. On that day, the VPA will be staging a peace march in the Corporate Area under the theme 'Peace for Prosperity'.

 

The Violence Prevention Alliance (VPA) expects at least 4,000 Jamaicans to join the peace march. "We want to spread the message of peace and let Jamaicans know that peace is possible and violence is preventable," said Dr Deanna Ashley, a member of the VPA.
