I'm working on a thesis for Arcadia University's International Peace and Conflict Resolution grad program.
I'm looking into studying the impact of various faith based organizations in post conflict societies. Is it possible you could email me a copy of your article "Muslim Peace-Building Actors in Africa and the Balkan Context: Challenges and Needs"?
Best, Michelle Thompson

How are things? I'm at Yale for the semester but the time is flying by. Are you still at AU? I'm trying to generate some interest here in women and religion and peacebuilding. There's a young woman here (another Fellow in the program I"m in) from Saudi Arabia who is really terrific. Let's talk sometime!

- Dear Friends,
Several months ago, I submitted an application for the 2008 JusticeMakers Competition. In doing so, I joined a global community of legal aid lawyers, policemen, and NGO officers that had proposed solutions for curbing torture and legal abuse on a local level.
Last month, I received word that my application was one of a handful of proposals to be named a JusticeMakers Finalist. With your assistance, I now have a shot at winning $5,000 to implement my idea.
Here's how you can help.
1. Register for www.justicemakers.net.
2. Login and click "Browse Projects" on the left hand side of the page.
3. Browse or search for [waheed], my JusticeMakers username, and click on it.
4. Click on the orange "Rate Me" icon that appears on the top of the page.
5. Read a short summary of my proposal and rate my project. (Preferably with five stars.)
That's it! If, on November 13, I have the highest average rating of any project, I'll win the $5,000 to implement my project. :)
Please let me know if you have any questions and thank you in advance for your help.
