“

Mediation and reconciliation work is about a profound quest for justice and social transformation. But at the same time, they are about service, solidarity, exploring and rediscovering the human spirit that has been lost or shattered through human conflict, cruelty, ignorance, and greed. ~ Hizkias Assefa
