Under the theme “Conflict resolution,” Sadili staff prepared a range of activities for the Peace One Day that was celebrated by the two schools separately at different times of the day. Celebration at each school took slightly over an hour and the pupils played sports (tennis, basketball and other fun games), had group discussions on peace and sang peace songs. This event also provided a platform for friends who had been at loggerheads with each other to reconcile. This was done by simple acts of kindness such as shaking of hands, smiling and saying sorry.

The Court of Dreams follows the journey of children between 3 and 12 years, the age in which one can leave a positive influence in a child forever. Using sports, mainly tennis and basketball to promote this project, we are doing our best in encouraging better hygiene habits, attendance in school as a result of better health and therefore improved performance in school.
