JOURNALING:

My brother Todd is involved in a training project with the U.S. State Department’s Public-Private Partnership for Justice Reform in Afghanistan. Todd and his fellow lawyers and judges, including former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor have been working on this project for over a year and with this group of 14 Afghan women judges for a couple of months. The women participate in legal seminars, roundtable events; as they explore current topics in the Afghan and American legal systems, legal decision-making and mediation, domestic violence, family and mental health, and narcotics law, all while gaining hands-on exposure to the American judicial system. They were in DC the day after the inauguration to introduce the project to the new administration and were fortunate to meet with the new Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. As President Obama made clear in his first foreign policy announcement, “we are committed to supporting your efforts to bring security and stability to your country.” I am so VERY proud of Todd and his peacemaking efforts.

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Matthew 5:9
