Arise, all women who have hearts!

All that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience.

Support the VGJ
www.veteransgreenjobs.org
Our Mission
The Veterans Green-Jobs (VGJ) provides training opportunities for military veterans in the emerging green-collar jobs sector. Veterans Green-Jobs Training Program incorporates green-collar college programs, intensive residential training and veterans’ restoration corps. In addition, VGJ seeks to provide a wide range of complimentary resources to assist veterans in post-war civilian reintegration. VGJ will also link trained veterans to green businesses in search of new leaders through a national Green-Jobs Clearinghouse.
The VGJ addresses three primary needs:
• Military veterans' need for meaningful, restorative careers
• Our country's need for a green-collar workforce
• Veterans' and veterans organizations' needs for supporting post-war civilian reintegration
By supporting both veterans and the development of a green economy, the VGJ’s work is restorative to our veterans, our economy and our planet.

my name is András Mikó, I'm writing this message on the behalf of Ferenc and István Ivanics, the brothers who form the WorldWalk-Peacetour Team, who are walking around the Earth in the name of peace, brotherhood and friendship. Now they are in Tallahassee, Fl, and they will arrive New Orleans on 5th July. We'd like to arrange a presentation for them about their concept of peace, and about their experiences of walking in Europe, Africa and the USA. To know more about the project, please, visit their blog (http://worldwalk-peacetour.blogspot.com) and their info site (http://worldwalk-peacetour.info).
There was already a very good presentation in Orlando, Fl (http://worldwalk-peacetour.blogspot.com/2009/06/presentation-in-orlando.html), we planning a similar one, maybe for a bit wider audience. Now we are looking for a good place, to organize it. We don't really know New Orleans, that's why we are looking now for a local contact, a peace activist or an owner of a public place (cafe, library etc.). Please, help us, and please, forward this message to anybody who maybe could help us.
Thank you in advance
Peace
András and the WorldWalk Team
I invited 85 a28 friends over, too.
