ACRF is a US incorporated nonprofit, which works to sow seeds for durable and sustainable peace in Africa by encouraging dialogue and reconciliation, building local capacity to mitigate the root causes of conflict, and assisting victims of conflict.
Friends,
I agree work on the ground and through local actors is most important. I have some connections/experience in Uganda, but primarily want to hear from you as insiders who can educate me as an outsider.

- Hi Carole, Back from 6 weeks in Congo, Rw, and Bur. I have two interviews taped. One is pretty informative about conflict resolution on the Haut Plateau in South Kivu, DRC. What is the best way to send it? Also do you have capabilities to put subtitles on it, as it is in French? George

- Carole,
I will provide you with any commentaries from people that I meet and am able to record. Hopefully some will also be of use to you. I'll also try and put you in touch with the daughter of a good friend. She'll be finishing her M.A. and a few weeks in TV and Media at Ohio Univ. Then going to Johannesburg for an internship with a TV station. You two may have some overlap in your respective work, maybe, maybe not, but it may be a useful exchange. If you want to contact me directly by email it is georgebrose@yahoo.com . I'll forward her address from your email as I'm not sure about putting her address on this site where many can read our mail.
