The labyrinth has reached children in Rwanda, thanks to the efforts of Susan Murphy and on the ground partner, Francine Muhawenimana from the Children's Peace Library. Over a period of two months in 2020 The Children’s Peace Library hosted labyrinth projects. They presented workshops on creating different types of labyrinths that fit into the Rwandan culture: Umuganda (community work) with prayers for peace, finger labyrinths using imigondo art form (cow dung), reconciliation for conflict training and Stick (children's game). The headmaster was so excited he had volunteers paint a large Chartres style labyrinth in the school compound.
Although COVID has stalled this program for now, Susan continues her outreach work with The Labyrinth Society and with us, the Labyrinth Community Network of Ontario. This work was supported by a grant from The Labyrinth Society.
