Juvenile injustice is limited to the poor

Most left in the 1970's. Many were born in the camps. People lost legal rights to reclaim their lands after 30…"
George Brose replied to Fabio Scarpello's discussion grassroots-driven conflict-management initiatives: please suggest examples"Mr. Scarpello,
I'd be happy to get together with you on the internet to discuss work that the Quakers have been doing in the African Great Lakes Region. They have over 300 trained community mediators working in dispute…"
George Brose commented on Meeghan Zahorsky's blog post Sports and Peacebuilding - The Beginning"Meeghan,
You may find that in your research there will always be a challenge to filter out competitiveness from any human activity. Only as an aging adult have I been able to set aside my interest in who wins at sport and learn to appreciate human…"

George Brose commented on Parents Circle - Families Forum's blog post PARENTS CIRCLE FAMILIES FORUM NEWSLETTER"It is true when the pain and suffering is shared and heard from both sides under the same roof that some understanding and reconcilliation can begin to germinate.

George Brose replied to Richard Smith's discussion Insider mediators and electoral conflict in Africa"Hello Richard,

- Hello George,
So great to hear about your involvement with OB Kenya. Thank you for the contact information about the African Great Lakes Initiative. Our upcoming programs are focusing on Israel and Palestine as well as Sri Lanka, but we have had a partnership to build capacity with OB Rwanda in the past. We are always looking for special trainers that can take on mentally and physically challenging expeditions with Outward Bound Peacebuilding.
Thank you again for your interest, please do not hesitate to contact us again. Please email info@outwardboundpeace.org to be added to our mailing list!

- Stephan, good to hear from you. Jul14 I'll still be in the area around Goma (Nyamitaba or Kiwanja, or an IDP camp). We don't come down to Buj/Uvira until July 26 only for part of the day before going to Uvira (Mboko/Ruzizi) the back to Buj and Gitega Aug. 3-13. We're all volunteers, so we only come over for 5-6 weeks then back to our jobs. George

Stefan Roman said… - Hi George,
sorry for answering so late... I'm glad you wrote me, I will be in Bujumbura the 14th of July and then travelling back to Baraka. It would be nice if we could meet somewhere and exchange some experiences, I am interested in your programme here and the organisations you work with, as GTZ is going to have an emergency aid project in Uvira too. Maybe your can give me your preliminary programme and I'll see where we could have a meeting.
Best wishes,
Stefan

Eve Williams said… - Yes they have! I am in Buffalo right now working in an adult education program and looking for a way out/ to Africa. I would love to speak at more length with you about your work in Central Africa/ Great Lakes region. I hope to make it to Ohio soon- I was last there in September- but am unsure of when I can. Its great connecting with you here. Do you know anyone in the YS meeting?

- Hi George,
My name is Eve and I can just say that I am so excited to meet you through this network! I found you on this network as my research interests coalesce with yours. However, what is even more exciting is that we have more commonalities- I lived in Yellow Springs on and off for four years, attended the Quaker meeting there, and managed Project Woman in Springfield. I do hope that we have a chance to talk more and perhaps meet the next time I come to Ohio.
Take Care
Eve

Carole St. Laurent said… - George, thank you for the introduction and link. I loved AGLI's program. I'll be in Uganda and Rwanda April 15-May 2, and am trying to link with organizations in the region about peacebuilding or capacity building through video, websites, or IT training. I've sent the link to a friend in the region.
You remind me of my brother-in-law - he does AVP programmes in the justice system in Canada, and some work overseas.
