Invitation to Juarez

After extensive consultation and work with community groups in Juarez-- and a lengthy process of discernment and decision making with our organization-- MPT is planning a Team for Fall 2010 in response to the following Invitation from the Centro de Derechos Humanos (excerpt):

"In relation to your participation as a Peace Team in our city, we consider that your contribution is very positive and can move in three important actions:

     1. To form an International Network in order to let others know of the Juarez problem, as foreigners concerned about the violence and insecurity that we have.

     2. To be in one area of work based in poor communities, with concrete goals for a determined time with volunteers who speak Spanish in order to:

          - To create a conscientiousness of non-violence from within the communities - with women, youth and adolescents;

          - To provide the service of listening to those women and their families who are living in the situation of suffering;

          -To foster a culture of denouncing in order to break the culture of silence.

      3. To be present as possible at nonviolent demonstrations and sit-ins."
