August 2009

Dear friends and colleagues,

We had another month of great contributions from you, members and friends. Thanks to all those who have commented, added photographs, discussed a point of view, presented at words@bld50 and posted links or articles. We have received news and contributions from and about: Rwanda, Prishtina, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Palestine, Chile, Australia, the US, Tunisia, Bangladesh among other cities and places from around the world. It is contributions such as these—of work that matters to the wider society—that makes arch-peace a great organisation and encourage us (volunteers) to continue.

Thanks also to our Iranian colleagues who responded to our note of support, we hope with you for brighter days.

Note that all our words’ presentations are now available on video here.

Anything that we do here in Melbourne can be replicated anywhere else. If you are interested in doing similar work in your city or offered to coordinate work in your city/country, please follow these steps: http://archpeace-notes.blogspot.com/2008/11/region-country-representatives.html

We have had some problems with our email service and some emails and some responses are being delayed. Please be patient.

Best regards,

Beatriz C. Maturana (President) and the Architects for Peace team.
