Nonviolent Peaceforce is doing a good job around the world. It is fighting against the violence and bringing peaceful atmosphere in various part of the world. Now I am working in Zambia, I know how the people are surviving in rural areas, really they are starving without water and food. Its not possible to wipe out the poverty completely but at least it can be reduced at a certin percentage through the help of International Organizations. To be frank I would recommend this Organization predominantly to all my friends circle.

I met a Mary Lou, a volunteer at NP, at a protest in early '03 (this was the 2nd protest I'd every attended in my 63 years). I learned about NP's mission & background. After meeting the director & staff, I began spending 3 to 4 hours a week there. It wasn't too long and I made a personal commitment to invest at least 2 to 3 times as much time working for something, as protesting against something.
The staff has worked with me to blend the needs of NP with my personal skills & interests.
After serving 2 years in the US Army during the VN era & 28 years working with veterans at the VA Medical Center & MN Veterans Home, I became honestly convinced that NP was a far better approach to conflict resolution. I also believe that this offers the potential for a better world for my/our 4 kids & 6 grandchildren.
Peace & Love,
Tom
