SCI Penang

THE BEGINNING OF SCI

The roots of Service Civil International lie in a very practical peace project. In 1920 a group of volunteers gathered to reconstruct a war-torn village on the French and German border. The initiative came from a Swiss man called Pierre Ceresole. It was his idea to work together in a spirit of friendship and demonstrate a concrete act of international solidarity. He wanted to show that people of different nationalities can work together instead of being each other’s enemies.
