I hope you are both doing well.  I thought you'd be interested in attending one or more of these talks by our visitor from Burundi.  Could you post it on the AWARE list serve.

Donations to FWA will be welcomed. Checks may be made out to Friends Peace Teams with FWA on the memo line.
Parfaite will also give a talk on campus on Thursday, October 12 at 1 PM in the Lucy Ellis Lounge of the Foreign Language Building, 707 S. Mathews, Urbana.  The public is also invited to this talk, co-sponsored by the Center for African Studies and the Gender and Women's Studies Department.
