Hi Sandy,

NCDD provides an interesting forum for development worker like me. My sharing about the BEAM Project is not so much on providing, but more on facilitating. BEAM, espeically its Muslim Education component has provided our stakeholders the space and the opportunity to voice out their angsts and aspirations. By opening the door to dialogue, we reduce the credibility of those who advocate change and development through violent means.

Nice to hear from you.
