Training of Trainers for School for Peace – by The Non-Violence Project Foundation, India and Consumer Coordination Council

 
Thomas John Palekkudy, Director of The Non-Violence Project Foundation-India, a registered public charitable trust, is a great friend of mine. We met in February 2019 at the National Consultation programme of lay leaders at Proggaloy Barasat (near Kolkata).  Thomas is a multi-talented person, always bursting with energy  and an aficionado of adventure sports.  He wrote to me the following letter which I find quite interesting and has immense potential to bring about peace from the grassroots / school level. Here is an opportunity for our readers to join hands with Thomas and his team in their great initiative to promote peace, especially in view of the Lent season.  Isaac Gomes, Asso.
