Profile Information
- What motivated you (or your organization) to become involved in peace and conflict resolution?
- My faith (Baha'i) and community service (teaching children and facilitating (animating) junior youth groups in neighbordhoods) made me realise the importance of conflict resolution skills that are so necessary in today's world to promote peace and unity. I believe that without a recognition of the oneness of humanity and justice, we cannot advance towards peace, and I hope to serve in this process in any way possible.
