Your wish is my command, so please include me in the planning or this new proposal. The legacy of Paul Farmer is brilliantly presented and most welcome. Thank you! Another tribute should be given to Dr. Paula Green, peace educator and Engaged Buddhist who passed on Feb. 21st. She was founder and executive director of the Karuna ( "kindness") Center for Peacebuilding NGO and received an Unsung Heroes of Compassion award from the Dalai Lama in 2009. This is given to "individuals who, through their loving-kindness and service to others, have made their communities and our world a better place." She received multiple awards in recognition of what she called "my journey as a peace-builder, whether in my home country of the U.S. or across the world in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe." The film "Communities in Dialogue: Healing the Wounds of War", documents her years of work for the people of Bosnia. The world should mourn the recent losses of Paul Farmer, Thich Nhat Hanh, and now Paula Green, all stellar models of courage, integrity and commitment to peace. DD
