Travel to the USA December 3, 2007

From May ‘07 to to late June, I was on a trip to the USA, attending the Rotary World Peace Symposiun and Convention. During the trip, I was hosted by Outward Bound Centre for Peace Building and Outward Bound New York for a period of about 6 weeks. This was a great time to meet peers and mentor in Outward Bound. I was able to meet a and make presentations to a couple individuals and institutions.

Shira and her family were very supportive in providing a family atmosphere in always.

Lots of thanks to Beth Anglin- and her team in OBCP, and Robert- OB New York. It was a memorable moment.

This was a visit in the city to watch Baseball- my first time!!

A great opportunity was visiting schools in NY and give lectures. In Particular, I was invited to Valedus and Taft colleges, both Outward Bound Expeditionary Schools, to talk to students on possibilities of peace in the role, and what the world expects from them.

With Robert and Elizabeth at the Shawangunks climbing. this wa sa great treat for any outward Bounder from Robert and Elizabeth.
