Alice - it is good to hear from you again after several years where I have been involved in other things.  You are still young, but less so than before, eh?  Anyway, yes, I too am aware that some tried to help each other in that horrible Ruwanda slaughter.  I also am aware that there was a background here where one of the 2 main groups had previously abused the other and this was major retaliation.   But in this case there was major help available and the United Nations stood in the way of that help.  It could have been done with very few deaths.  As it was, nearly a million were killed and many more maimed with one of the most low tech weapons around - machettes, designed for agricultural and related work.  I am not criticizing those who helped or tried to help risking their own lives.  I am criticizing those with the ability to help in a major way and either turned their backs on the problem or refused to authorize that help.  Twas the same in Cambodia where over 2 million were killed by the  Pol Pot.

Hi Alice, your twitter profile reminded me of my seldom used account here! See you later

Alice I justy got back from a workshop for the people running the Children's and Young peoples program at BYMG. I met a young women who is interested in talk to people dress Quaker plain. Could I pass your name onto her?

Hi Alice,

Just wondering if you are planning any gatherings in or around Coventry in the near future?

 

Dear Alice,

Your 'About Me" profile is exactly how I feel and didn't know how to put into words.  It is exactly why I live the way I do as well.

No, not a goodbye! Just a rethink as far as internet identity go's.  It' must be a phase or something!!

Goddess & God Bless.

Hi Alice,

Small group but I think growing. I also post on the BYM forum. This place is definately a different flavour - but then being originially of Aotearoa NZ YM, I come from another flavour of tradition!

Hello!  Thank you for the friend request on here!  How nice to see the request!  I saw your conversation with Cotswold Quaker, and was very interested in it.  Interesting insight, thanks for those posts(to both of you)!  May you have a wonderful New Year, sending you love and light!

In peace,

Jen
