Personal Reflection
At the End of the One-Year COFP Fellowship Program:
An Unforgettable Experience
“The COFP Foundation and the peace Fellowship program has impacted my life in more ways than I can count. It has helped shape and change the way I used to think about people of different faiths, cultures and religions and has taught me acceptance and patience. The program has exposed me to various ways of handling disputes and also better ways of communicating with people, from my home, place of work and even amongst friends and family. Attending the COFP Fellowship was one of the best decisions I ever made, and I can say that I am a better person and individual because of it, as I have learnt and known the importance of peaceful coexistence and always, to embrace peace wherever I go and at any time. Thank you.” ~~ Fatima
