Bernard Volunteering in the communities of Belfast UK.

Bernard  is a product of the British Council who got his experience through the British Council's continuous trainings and exposure that led to the formation of the Anti-Violence Movement.
In Belfast conditions were not favourable but was able to cope with issues of Racism. His mission in Belfast was successful because he was able to adapt to the community he was placed. The young people of Belfast who involved in gansterism and violence said they are into violence because they don't feel like they belong. The Anti-Violence Movement  played a remarkable role in the lives of youth in Belfast by giving hope and changing their mind set from being looking for opportunity to succeed to that of capacity building to become self reliance. Young peolpe were able to understand the need to volunteer and to become responsible citizens. The Movement met with several opportunities to help capacitate the youth in Africa.
