Making Peace

Making Peace in Afghanistan:
How You Can Help

A Conversation with Paco Michelson

Tuesday, April 17
12:15-1:15 p.m.

LTSP Refectory, Rooms A & B

Paul-Philip (Paco) Michelson has served with The Frontiers since 2005 in Korea, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. He is also an affiliate of Christian Peacemaker Teams and has served with CPT in Palestine. Tom Fox briefly trained him, a year before Tom was killed in Iraq.
The Frontiers (http://www.thefrontiers.org/) was founded in Korea in 1993 to give help for rehabilitation, encouragement and hope for peace. The focus of their work is education focused on peace building and reconciliation, helping to unite people separated physically, mentally, and spiritually by war and violence. Additionally, their projects stress community living. They believe that living side by side with people in places torn apart by conflict is essential to both local restoration of peace and broader future establishment of peace.
