There is so much excitement and interest around the continuation of this program, people have heard of the incredible work we are doing and we are getting known. All kinds of emails from people in the region are coming to us asking if they can join the next cohort, which will start in September. We could *never * have gotten this far without you and are so grateful for all of your support.

The inaugural class of leaders is graduating in January. They will be going out to their communities with their hard-won skills. This group was forged in a crucible of war. However able you imagine these leaders to be-- they are even more extraordinary than that. Each one of them possesses precisely the skills and qualities the region needs right now-- most importantly, the ability to be with the hardest, heaviest feelings and not turn away. Now more than ever, leaders who can do this are needed for the healing ahead. And we want to support more people to have these skills.

This is an investment that truly makes a powerful difference on the ground. It is a gift that keeps on giving. Will you help us to continue? Any amount counts. And please share this with people who you think would be interested. We cannot thank you enough.
