Please take few minutes to read and share with your friends and network if you think it would benefit them.

After we accomplished our pilot project with young adults from 10 countries last February 2009 in Thailand, we're ready to launch the Peace Revolution live project. The program is all about

Peace & Conflict Resolution

Mediation & Meditation

World Peace & Inner Peace

Self-Development & Transformation

and many more…

Presently, we have almost 500 participants from 99 countries registered for a unique online program provided free of charge. You’d better ascertain by clicking at WWW.PEACEREVOLUTION2010.ORG for further details.

Also, we provide (limited) “Fellowship” to an international conference in February 2010 in Thailand especially for youth and young adult ages between 18-30 years who apply before October 15, 2009. Learn more at http://www.peacerevolution2010.org/docs/en/apply-for-the-agency.

If you are the one who believe in this equation;

“Inner Peace + Outer Peace = Sustainable World Peace”,

let’s join force today!

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

With great respect and appreciation for your endeavor toward peace

Peace in…Peace out!

Joint Photo Campaign CIVICUS with UNDP Humanizing Development Global Photography Campaign

How do you see development? How can you portrait the human face of the development processes? How do you show that development initiatives and programmes improve the lives of people? This Global Photography Campaign, of which CIVICUS is a partner, aims to show examples of people winning the battle against poverty, social exclusion and marginalization.

The themes are:
• Overcoming poverty, social exclusion and marginalisation.
• Enlarging people's choices and supporting local development initiatives.
• Promoting self-esteem, confidence and hope.
• Building a brighter future and advancing human capacities.
• Fighting deprivation and expanding access to food, water, sanitation, education and health services for the poor.
• Eliminating gender inequalities in the labour market.
• Empowering women.
• Fighting discrimination, domestic violence, abuse and exploitation.
• Eliminating child labour and promoting decent work opportunities.
• Expanding access to education and improving its quality and social inclusiveness through innovative approaches.
• Innovative initiatives on local development, enhancing the participation of communities in decision processes.
• Enhancing women's potential and participation in development processes.
• Promoting women's leadership and equal opportunity to develop talents.
• Building democratic governance and developing institutions and processes that are more responsive to the needs of ordinary citizens, including the poor. Alleviating exclusion, suffering, injustice and waste caused by corruption.
• Empowering citizens to combat the destructive influence of corruption, entrenched networks and abuse of power.

My heartfelt hopes and wishes lie in bringing peace, strength, stability, hope and prosperity to Africa and to Africans...
I long for there to be enough hope and opportunity for this change that Africans will no longer risk their lives to try to start new ones illegally across the Atlantic, but that there will be more than enough food, jobs, honest and fair governance, good health care for all, human rights and equality so that Mother Africa will soon rise up be all that she can be today and tomorrow.

Coming out from a community (Liberia) that suffers one of Africa's most brutal civil war, networking and working with others to ensure that the next generation does not suffer the scourge of war is my outmost priority. This makes it compelling to be a part of this initiative. Thank you.

Good luck with your work. I hope you will incorporate studies and discussions about racial/ethnic/national tolerance and respect for diversity into your programme on peace, democracy and development.
