The fourth Annual Spirit of Peace and Prosperity conference took place on July 17th till 21st at the Ted Weiss Federal Building, New York.

This year's program marked Nelson Mandela’s 101th birthday which was celebrated with various kinds of celebration in many parts of the world, especially in South Africa. This allows for the upholding and promotion of Madiba’s legacy for peace as well as the annual comprehensive Truth and Reconciliation mandate, which is facilitated and consecrated by the presence of the elders, political leaders, statesmen, customary, traditional authorities and scholars.

It brings together all  indigenous traditional authorities and custodians of cultures as well as political leaders and statesmen in achieving peace, security, and sustainable development collaboratively in our respective societies to emphasize their role, responsibilities, and inclusion.
