Conflict Trends 2012/3

Dear Baby Boy Carlson-da Rocha: Welcome to the world! We are all working to make this world a better place for you and millions of other children... you are born into a world rife with challenges but there are many good people working to resolve these so that the world can be a better place for you and other children. I hope that someday you will think about other babies born long after you and will learn from our mistakes and successes. In doing so you too will contribute to making our world better!* |
* Baby boy Carlson-da Rocha was born to an African Centre for the Constructive Resolution of Disputes (ACCORD) staff member in November 2012. This is from a letter to the baby boy by ACCORD Founder and Executive Director Vasu Gounden.
