It is undoubtedly a fact that when two or more people live together, difference are bound to occur. These differences might be in terms of gender, religion, tribe, nationality etc in general, these differences arise as a result of difference in opinions.
And just as it is popularly said, opinions are like noses and everyone has one. Meaning in Ghana, we can have as many as 30 million different opinions from at least 30 million Ghanaians. It is on this back drop, that there’s need for tolerance in order to foster peace and tranquility in the society.
Amidst several attacks in our jurisdictions fuelled largely due to religious extremism and hatred for other religious beliefs and practices, I initiated the formation of African Students for Inter-faith Tolerance simply referred to as ASFIT.
This organisation in my firm believe, will promote tolerance in our schools, communities and even at our national front. Though, I seek to achieve religious tolerance in this direction, it will go a long to in fuse tolerance into the lives of participants and campaigners and make tolerance part and parcel of the lives of people especially students.
Friends and colleagues, I call on you to join me and my other colleagues to help join efforts to fight intolerance in our societies. It is possible if we truly wish to fight together for our common goals.
If you’re a student in any institution regardless of your level and wishes to join us today, please send as an email through asfitghana2019@gmail.com / 0502979063.
Nonetheless, incase you’re not a student but wishes to join the fight against intolerance which has the potential of wracking havoc in our communities and dividing us needlessly, please also contact us through the above mentioned phone number and email address.
Let us all in togetherness promote love, peace and tolerance in our families, societies and communities because we can only achieve our planned aims and objectives only through tolerating one another.
