Wherever we go, whomever we work with, whomever we speak with... there is a widespread understanding and appreciation that IAHV's approach is "different", "everybody needs this", "this is what we have been looking for".... 

The world needs us! So we need you to spread this appeal far and wide and support it if you can!

We will continue developing and spreading IAHV's peace approach to individuals and communities most in need, and work towards its structural integration in international peacebuilding.

With gratitude!
