I am very pleased to announce that my friends Cyndie and Bill from "everyday gandhis" will be sharing their experiences and showing some special film footage of their peacebuilding work in West Africa, some of which will include the amazing women of Liberia who were instrumental in ending the brutal civil war there. I have been fortunate to hear them speak several times, and each time I am deeply touched. Please invite your friends to hear their moving and inspiring stories. (www.everydaygandhis.org) I keep thinking that if more people heard what the women in Liberia have accomplished with the limited resources that they had, that people in this country would realize that there is much more that we can accomplish by working together.

I hope to see you on Saturday.

Love, Cat
