about the foundation
Board of Directors
"It is the case (it should be the case) that only when individuals feel themselves to be participant in a culture or community that they are likely to pay heed to the deficiencies, to engage in dialogue, to achieve some reciprocity of perspectives. When such reciprocity is achieved, there may be the possibility of action, a beginning of repair."
