Kenyan singer Eric Wainaina (C) receives an escopetarra from Stefan Liller (L), management officer from the U.N Office on Drugs and Crime Programme, and Consul and Deputy Head of Mission of the Embassy of Colombia Jorge Ojeda during his appointment as the Messenger of Non-Violence in Nairobi June 26, 2008. The escopetarra, derived from the Spanish words "escopeta" (rifle) and "guitarra" (guitar), is an art-guitar symbolizing the change from violent behaviour and actions into peaceful and constructive ones. It is part of the "Non-Violence Generation" campaign which began on the 26th of June 2006. REUTERS/Antony Njuguna (KENYA)
