Work in South Africa - Sept. 2002-4

I'm just finished working in Johannesburg for two years, supporting work in different communities on trust, violence, languages and cultural diversity for a church-based service organisation, Quaker Peace and Social Witness. I'm not a Quaker, but they do good work, and have values I share.
