There is a Baha’i couple, John Woodall and Margo Deselin Woodall of Newtown, Connecticut who run a project called Unity Project. The project was started in New York to empower and build resilience in kids effected by 9-11. Later the project focused on the young victims of Katrina in New Orleans and Mississippi. More recently their efforts have been focused on child soldiers in Uganda.
The Woodalls spoke at the interfaith vigil in Newtown, CT this past week. President Obama was in the audience and spoke at the end as well.
The Woodalls’ segment is on YouTube:
John Woodall will be speaking at the Bluebonnet conference in Austin this Feburary:

Esta sensação, o sentimento e certeza de que pertenço a Comunidade Mundial Bahái se concretiza quando posso acessar outros sites, como este e ver os esforços mundiais para melhorar a sociedade. Por isto nunca me sinto sozinha...On-line integrada ao mundo das comunidades baha'is em ação, Sonia. E isto é maravilhoso mesmo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
