The seminar featured a compelling conference on family values, passionately delivered by Reverend Danwéré SOU, President of the Universal Peace Federation for North Africa. Furthermore, Dr. Thierry KY, former National Leader of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, and a respected researcher at Joseph Ky Zerbo University, shared his profound insights on the theme, "Victory over Communism."
Notably, the attendees comprised a diverse group of distinguished individuals, including a former Minister of National Education and a former Member of Parliament, a Colonel Major serving as a Technical Advisor to the Ministry of Defense, former Mayors, ex-Members of Parliament, accomplished entrepreneurs, artists, educators, a medical professional, and dedicated members of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification.
In the aftermath of this enlightening seminar, participants expressed their deep appreciation to the Universal Peace Federation and pledged their commitment to disseminating its visionary ideals within both their familial and professional spheres. They also conveyed their dedication to actively promoting the Federation's mission not only within Burkina Faso but across the entire African continent.
Furthermore, the organizing committee thoughtfully documented the reflections and impressions shared by participants. The former Minister and ex-Member of Parliament emphasized, "My participation in the seminar on family values aimed at contributing to the restoration of a more prosperous world. I am pleased to acknowledge that the speakers exceeded our expectations regarding the dynamics between individuals, families, and the state. Let us steadfastly maintain our shared vision and remain observant of the same principles."
