Members of the Duke and Durham communities gathered last week to remember victims of the post-election violence in Kenya and pray for resolution.
Peter Nyangweso, a University of North Carolina graduate student from Kisii, Kenya was among those in attendance. He offered his thanks to the Duke WISER student group for organizing the vigil:
The Duke WISER student group will hold a candlelight vigil in solidarity with Kenyans who have lost their lives and livelihoods during the recent ethnic conflict, and those who are striving toward peaceful resolution.
The vigil will be held at the Duke Chapel steps Feb. 7 from 7 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. Services will include prayer by the Dean of Duke Chapel, original poems from Kenyan schoolchildren, time for silent reflection and the voices of the Duke Pitchforks. All are welcome.
