Message from Narine Dat Sookram
2015 Public Peace Prize Finalist in the Local Peacemaker category
People arriving in Canada from other countries have found in him a mentor and a guide who helps them to integrate into a new country by sharing his personal determination, solidarity and commitment to peace.
It is my hope that everyone will take ownership and play a role to the best of their ability to create a more peaceful world in the world around us, by engaging and accepting people for who they are and live life as an example for others to follow peacefully.

It is my hope that asylum seekers & refugees are no longer demonized & looked down upon by countries like Australia. Instead i pray that courageous journalists, statesmen & women & every day people stand up & speak out against the inhumane ways these men, women & children are being treated.
Matthew 22:36-40 New International Version (NIV)
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
