Many thanks to Sami Sunchild for hosting An Evening of Peaceful Discussion at the Red Victorian Peace Cafe in the Haight. Sami is the owner of the Red Victorian Bed & Breakfast and Peace Cafe. It is a haven for world travelers who share the common goal and ideal of making the world a more peaceful place. It was the perfect venue for a discussion about NamasteDirect and ending poverty by helping women in Guatemala and Mexico.
I apologize for the lack of photos from the event, but you can get a glimpse of the welcoming environment at the cafe. Attendees gathered to enjoy a vegetarian meal of homemade lasagna, salad, and dessert of their choice. Three of our NamasteDirect fellows, Wes Selke, Shirin Belur, and Ellen Dobie were onhand to offer their firsthand experiences in Guatemala and Mexico. After dinner, everyone participated in World Conversations inspired by the presentations. You could hear conversations in French, English, and Spanish between guests from Columbia, Bosnia, and the US - it was truly an international evening!
