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

The menace that we witnessed in Kenya following the Post Election Violence in 2007/2008. Majority of us did not even expect things to turn out the way they did and we were therefore caught unaware. In trying to resolve the conflict, we fond ourselves lacking the expertise and until now we are still struggling with the question of "how best to put this matter to rest"
