Various Encounters and a Prayer for Peace



My original oversea trip was to visit a Cambodian refugee camp in Thailand.

I am an English teacher by profession and my encounters include Ms. Betty Readon in the Tokyo branch of Columbia University, those who are involved in Hague Appeal for Peace, holistic education, global education, etc. Presently, I am also engaging myself in the Association for a 10 year Promotion of UN ESD (Education for Sustainable Development).

 

Through ESD I hope that we review the ways of life of our present society and correct them to build peace.
