Reflections From Africa-8
Karen asks me what is the highlight of my visit to South Africa? There cannot be one answer to this. There are so many highlights and on the whole it was just amazing- two CCs were born in this process, of course .
Karen, Tony and Berry were at it and I was so happy to see the birthing. I could meet some extraordinary people and the members of the new CCs will definitely bring revolutionary changes in the life of URI, I am sure, especially the two firebrand women who lead these astounding groups- Vivien Laverge and Nazely Mayet.

We had a wonderful meeting with some great academicians from the University of Durban yesterday, before going to the Indian Consulate gathering at the Town Hall for the 67th Republic Day celebrations. Prof. Jeff and Prof. Sophy lead the Department of Peace Building at Durban University. It was amazing to learn that Prof. Jeff is guiding 42 students for research related to non- violence and conflict resolution. This seventy year old gem of a man stunned me with his passion for peace building. We discussed a lot about TPA, Holy Books Conference, Peace Research Institute ( IPRI ) and so on. Africa is full of promises.
