What motivated you (or your organization) to become involved in peace and conflict resolution?

I dreamed I was teaching peace.

Please feel free to provide a short bio about yourself or the work of your organization (no more than 3 paragraphs)

I am a World Peace Clown. I travelled to Russia with Dr Patch Adams and it was there on the streets of Moscow, in orphanages and nursing homes that I saw the power of clowns as a means of re-connection and re-humanisation and more importantly a presence of love.

Since my return from Russia I wrote the REAL HOPE Program. It is an acronym for Responsibility, Empathy, Awareness, Love, Honesty, Oneness and Peace. It is an experiential positive peace and lifeskills program. You may look over it at my website www.worldpeacefull.com.

I am planning to go to the US to speak at Rotary Conferences and then a world trip to give my work and inspire positive peace in our lives and in the world. To "be the change you wish to be in the world" as Gandhi stated. That is my dream. If you know of networks i can visit. Please email me through the website.
