Hello Friend,


Did you ever wonder how relationships that span 9,000 miles get started? This month Eric Lijodi, our Africa Programs Manager, is on a journey to explore a new partnership with the people of Matsakha and Kenyan peacemaking group Transforming Community for Social Change (TCSC), in the first community engagement out of our Kakamega center. In our Chat this week, Eric will share what it is like to grow our global community, and we’ll learn from our Executive Director how Appreciative Inquiry, assets versus needs, and the 4D Cycle is transforming how we work.

And as a special treat, we will also be joined by guest speaker Getry Agizah, our partner with TCSC. For more than 15 years Getry has been working for peace in and around her country of Kenya. Join us this Friday, October 30th at noon to Chat with Getry. It only takes a few seconds to register.

This year marks the passage of our 10th anniversary. It’s been a subdued celebration as so many people continue to suffer through a difficult year. But we are needed more than ever. And we continue because of you; supporters and local partners and communities who believe in each other, hope, and good work. To honor both the past that made us and the new future we are creating together, this year we are launching a new website. Our website is a way for us to tell our story and invite others to help people help themselves.

In this Chat, we share our new site and then, most importantly, share the different ways you can join and participate in the good work of so many.
