Betty Williams and the WCCCI team are in Italy for the conference on “The City of Peace for Children in Basilicata”. To be held in Matera, this will be an occasion for the young people of the region to meet and listen to Noble Peace Laureates within the project.
On the 28th of September, on the grounds of Terzo Cavone in the municipality of Scanzano Jonico, there will be a Ceremonial Blessing of the Land. This is the future site for the first Center of Compassion.

My wife and I are Americans. We lived in Italy for more than 30 years.
Our main interest has always been social development and human rights.This interesr took us to Honduras (with AFSC) Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua (working with Quakers), Philipines (UNDP)
Currently we are living in Florida and running an NGO called the Friendship Association. Our focus i chamging US foreign policy towards Cuba.
We are considering returning to live in Italy and would like to get involved in something meaningful . . . we really like what we see growing out of the WCCCI and wonder how we might become involved.
