Philip Austin said… - Hello Linda! Good of you to get in touch. Sorry to hear about your disapointment with the AFSC appointment - yes, I'd heard they were having to make some difficult changes. I had my first visit to the US in January, attending the conference 'Heeding God's Call' in Philadelphia, and had the chance to meet a few AFSC people while I was there. All good wishes for your work.

Good to know that you are familiar with Somaliland situation and peace process. I'm more than glad for you to pay a visit to the institute and see what is going on there. Probably we can do some more improvements in terms of curriculum, studies and other areas.
If you can send me some of your reports about Somaliland it would be great.
