The Global Peace Festival in Benin took place on October 26 - 29, 2007, in the coastal cities of Ouidah, the historic slave-trade port, and Cotonou, Benin's economic capital and main city. During each activity, the international delegates, Archbishop George Augustus Stallings, Jr., and Mr. Jin Man Kwak, were joined by representatives of other West African countries: Burkina Faso, Niger, Nigeria, Togo, and Ghana.
To begin, 300 participants from different countries offered community service at the Ganve Public Primary School in Ouidah. Wearing Global Peace Festival T-shirts, they weeded and cleaned the school grounds. The mayor offered words of welcome.
