At a Rotary Peace Conference, I recently met Arun Ghandhi, grandson of Mahatma Ghandhi. He told me stories of his grandfather in the Peace-Making process. I became very inspired.
Mahatma Ghandhi spent the last twenty years of his career in Conflict Resolution rather than strict Litigation. Read: An Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments with Truth by Mahatma Gandhi.

I joined MBB – Mediators Beyond Borders. Using MBB’s resources and contacts along with the resources from Rotary International, I feel powerful. I can contribute to making the world a better and safer place for all of us.
Through MBB, I met a gentleman from Rwanda, Eric Rwabuhihi, who survived the Genocide!! Currently, I am working on a project to help Rwandans put their lives together. Click here to see the Documentary Coexist for free.

“Can we achieve World Peace?”
—-Peace begins at home, in our families, then communities. It begins with you and me, as we strive to get to know each other better. Then, we can use Conflict Resolution skills, and persuade our enemies/opponents that both sides will be better off in achieving Optimal solutions. We CAN Achieve World Peace!!
