Camp for Peace Liberia bade farewell to Ms. Anika Juliann Michel and Mr. Sebastian Osorio from Columbia thumb_IMG_1567_1024University in New York on Friday in Paynesville, Liberia.   Anika and Sebastian, skilled graduate student interns have worked with CFP since May this year.  While here, the both of them contributed significant value, including new ideas and energy to the growth and development of Camp for Peace Liberia, as well as concrete outputs of specific projects that they designed and implemented.  A Peace Education Manual, Resource Mobilization template and a strategy focus document were among the many values and resources that they developed during their internship. They have also created a link between CFP and Columbia University, opening possibilities for further collaboration.
