Today's Peacemakers

We honor the bold-hearted men and women around the world who work diligently to help their communities and to support their more vulnerable neighbors. There are peacemakers in every nation and every community. The people featured here work with, but not for, the American Friends Service Committee. We are pleased to share their important work.
