Sr. Pauline Silver Acayo, Catholic Relief Services Peacebuilding officer in Uganda, explains efforts to build peace among communities. Acayo oversees CRS peacebuilding projects in the area. These include reconciliation ceremonies for returning adults and children who were abducted by the LRA, dialogue and mediation among varying ethnic groups, establishment of peace groups, and workshops to increase communities conflict resolution skills.
Sr. Pauline spoke at Cabrini College Oct. 6, 2008.
she's a wonderful speaker. this might as well be the personal account of someone living in another world, because nothing we see as an "atrocity" in our Western culture comes close to the everyday lives of these people. The circulation of money drives us, because we use it as a means to live comfortable and sustainable lives. But what about these people, who can't even afford to think about living comfortably when they are struggling just to live.
