Hi Elaine and thank you for the comment and link. I will add this link to the post in hopes people will see it and take action...."walk the walk". Without action, nothing will change in the world! Peaceful...nonviolant action...that is!

Your comments on my suggestions for peace would be greatly appreciated. Please be good enough to spare some time to help Sri Lankans to live in peace, before they rest in peace (RIP).

Dear Elaine;

Thank you for joining the African Peace and Democratic Institute group. After reading your Bio, I am excited about the knowledge you have and how it aligns with the vision and mission of the Institute. As you must have noticed we are now focusing on developing the courses and the curriculunm for the Institute and have adopted an open planing policy to allow experts, activists and change makers around the world to make valuable contribution. In fact we wish to have a centre with courses that are specific to the region yet fit well in the global concepts and picture.

My e-mail is Christian@lukmefcameroon.org

Hoping to read from you again

sincerely

Christian
