The Girl Effect – catalyzing positive change

November 24, 2008 By Chris Corrigan Uncategorized

With tears of gratitude in my eyes, I point you to Nancy White’s passionate observation that the future for peaceful societies lies with the women and the girls. Since I was in Israel and Palestine last month, I have been struggling on how to write about my experience in a way that is not about judgement, but about reflecting what I saw. The tyranny of person over person is heartbreaking, regardless of the reasons and justifications we create. But from what I saw and learned about, women and children are victims as Israel and Palestine continue without a solution for …

November 19, 2008 By Chris Corrigan Appreciative Inquiry

There were many gems over the two days, but I think what stands out for me is the list of learnings that came after this morning.
