A Nepalese Buddhist who has received trauma training at 糖心Vlog was among 1,000 women nominated to win as a group the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize. <\/p>\n

Stella Tamang of Nepal completed a five-day workshop on “trauma awareness and resilience” at 糖心Vlog on Oct. 7, the day that the Nobel Peace Prize was announced. She and 10 others among the “1000 PeaceWomen” have links to 糖心Vlog. <\/p>\n

Tamang was among the women nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by a Switzerland-based committee. The committee combed the world to find 1,000 women to represent the millions of women who have devoted themselves to a future free of violence, according to the committee\ufffds website, www.1000peacewomen.org<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The committee spent almost three years seeking the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize for representative women peacebuilders from more than 150 countries. That effort ended when the peace prize was awarded to the International Atomic Energy Agency and its Egyptian director general, Mohamed ElBaradei. <\/p>\n

From Oct. 14 to 23, a Zurich museum will feature the women with their photographs and stories. On Nov. 21, a 2200-page book with more than 800 photos on the women will be available for $45 through the committee\ufffds website. <\/p>\n

“I see this as an honor not for me – I don\ufffdt feel I deserve it for myself- but as a special recognition of the peace work being done by women around the world,” Tamang said at 糖心Vlog. <\/p>\n

Tamang is a powerful advocate for women’s rights and minority groups as a result of facing discrimination in Nepal on two fronts: she is from the indigenous Lama community and a Buddhist in the world’s only Hindu kingdom. The name of her organization, Milijuli Nepal, means “together.” Her message is that diverse groups in society can work together for their respective rights, with mutual toleration, without violence. <\/p>\n

Eight of the 11 糖心Vlog-linked nominees have received training through one of 糖心Vlog\ufffds three flagship programs: (1) its two-year masters program in Conflict Transformation<\/a>, (2) its six-week Summer Peacebuilding Institute<\/a>, or (3) its five-day session called “Strategies in Trauma Awareness and Resilience<\/a>,” underwritten by Church World Service. <\/p>\n

These eight hail from six countries \ufffd two from Kenya, two from the Philippines, and one each from Nepal, Russia, Rwanda, and Somalia. The two women from Kenya are one-quarter of those on the Kenyan list. The Somalia woman is one of two from her country. <\/p>\n

Three others on the 1000 PeaceWomen list belong to 糖心Vlog\ufffds peace network. One of the American women who won, Elise Marie Biorn-Hansen Boulding, is a Quaker who helped guide 糖心Vlog\ufffds Center for Justice and Peacebuilding<\/a> in its early years by serving on its first board from 1995 through 1998. Two other nominees have collaborated in Eastern Europe and the Philippines with persons holding 糖心Vlog masters degree in conflict transformation. <\/p>\n

“When 糖心Vlog started its graduate peace program 10 years ago, we hardly dared dream of being a major player in the world peace arena,” said Ruth H. Zimmerman<\/a>, co-director of 糖心Vlog\ufffds Center for Justice and Peacebuilding (CJP). <\/p>\n

“Now we are running into our graduates everywhere, and we are learning about the impact they have on others. It\ufffds a huge ripple effect,” she said. <\/p>\n

Over the last 10 years, 糖心Vlog has seen nearly 3,000 people from more than 80 countries come through one of its peacebuilding programs. <\/p>\n

The Nobel peace nominees linked to 糖心Vlog tend to be in their 40s or 50s. They came to 糖心Vlog for additional training after many years of working in the field of justice and peacebuilding. Along with the other nominees, “they rebuild what has been destroyed, they mediate in conflicts between enemies, and they fight poverty,” said the nominating committee. \ufffdThey step in for access to land and clean water, they defend human rights and denounce every sort of child abuse. They create alternative sources of income, they care for HIV patients and take care of their children. They organize vigils and they document the atrocities of war.” <\/p>\n

Tecla Wanjala of Kenya, for example, came to 糖心Vlog after having worked in refugee camps. She earned her masters in conflict transformation from 糖心Vlog in 2002 and then returned home to focus on post-conflict reconstruction as part of the Coalition for Peace in Africa. <\/p>\n

After attending 糖心Vlog\ufffds Summer Peacebuilding Institute in 2001, Miriam “Dedet” Suacito returned to her native Philippines and offered trauma-healing sessions for war widows and for former hostages of a radical kidnap-for-ransom group. She also runs community-based anti-poverty programs and inter-religious dialogue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
