Eva was born and brought up in a conflict-ridden area of Colombia. She had seen many people die in petty fights. And each fight left someone thirsting for revenge. As she grew older, she realised that the only way to stop this cycle of violence was to stop the violence altogether. Eva decided that she would work to bring peace back to her town. Whenever she heard that two people were fighting, she would rush to stop them. Many people got angry with her and told her not to interfere in their personal matters. Others made fun of her. But no matter what happened, Eva kept on preventing fights. Slowly, people began to listen to her. Most people still did not agree with her, but they came to respect her. As time passed there were not fights at all. The place was now peaceful with no violence.
