Peace, not just the cessation of violence, but a true fulfillment of our collective dream, is possible in our lifetimes. We gratefully welcome your support.

“If there is an answer to the enormous problems before us, it is to seek
the solutions that will meet the needs of all concerned. This is not utopian idealism. I
have seen such solutions created—over and over again around the world.”
—Marshall B. Rosenberg, Ph.D.

Give to S&E Asia/Oceania Governance: Goal $50,000

Funding will be used to cover travel costs and training for advocates wishing to develop skills that allow them to participate in their own governance and/or negotiate with both Government and Non-Government funding entities in our area. Where it appears likely that doing so might serve to support our needs, funds may also be used to ‘purchase’ services from CNVC – e.g. training by Marshall and/or promotional materials.
