When it comes to peace, how would you describe yourself?
I feel the pain in the world
What do you believe are the 'burning issues' today?
Poverty, Education, Human Rights
So what is it?

What must we overcome to achieve peace?
Economic disparities
More
Gaps between the very poor and the others are reinforced socially in every way with the poorest not being understood, having no voice and being excluded. The poorest are the most exposed to conflict in every way - observing it and being part of it.
Can we change the world?
Definitely
More about me
I have focused on social justice for my career - in Canada with First Nation communities, and more recently in one of the poorest countries on our earth - Bangladesh.
Poverty forces people to live undignified lives. This not only hurts them, but hurts all of us. We must look for innovatie grass-roots approaches to find ways to overcome this situation.
