Catwg Peace Mala Celebration

Gwenda visited Catwg Primary School last week to attend their Peace Mala Accreditation Ceremony along with the Mayor Leila James and Councillor John Rogers.

“It was with great delight that I was invited to attend Catwg Primary School for their Peace Mala Accreditation celebration, especially as they were the first school in Neath Port Talbot achieve this status. I was also honoured to be presented with a Peace Mala prayer, written by a pupil of Catwg, which I now proudly display in my office."

"The Peace Mala project, developed in Wales by Llanelli teacher Pam Evans, is a wonderful way in which our young citizens can learn mutual respect for all the communities of our world, both cultural and religious, and to promote peace on earth and tolerance of our fellow man."

"I am truly impressed by the message of Peace Mala; to pass on to our children the value of world harmony and compassion, in such a creative way, is a beautiful gift.”
