Fw: Workshop

[Peggy Holman]

Friends,

Here is a story from Prosper Ndabishuriye.  Following his participation at
the Practice of Peace at the Whidbey Institute, he is bringing Open Space to
his country -- Burundi.

Michael -- I suspect this may be a new country for the map!

writing from the clouds just outside Seattle,
Peggy
