Monrovia, Liberia – A one-day series of National Peace Lectures has been concluded by an organization operating under the banner “The Universal Peace Federation Liberia Chapter.” Among other things, the series, which was held at the University of Liberia’s auditorium, aimed to inform and encourage the country’s youths and citizens to support peace as a way of growth and progress.
One of the presenters, Amb. Gerald Coleman, spoke and urged the young people to recognize the need of spreading the peace ideology across their communities. Amb. John Ballout, for his part, emphasized the five pillars of peace to both the participants and the recently appointed Ambassadors for Peace.
He praised the organizers for such a significant effort. In an effort to bring all Liberians together, UPF Liberia Chapter President Dr. Roosevelt G. Jayjay urged all ambassadors to remain unwavering in their calls for peace.

Additionally, Amb. McCarty G. Teayeh encouraged the incoming ambassadors to view their roles and duties in peace endeavors as essential to the advancement of their country. Amb. Teayeh also urged them to work hard and set good examples wherever to go and work especially in their homes and communities.
