CLOSE TO THOSE LIVING IN CONFLICT ZONES
Fundraising by Maria e Maria Teresa
The main characteristics of the intervention of Operation Dove (the Nonviolent Peace Corps of the Pope John XXIII Community) are:
- sharing: "inhabiting the conflict" by living the precariousness of emergency situations, the hopes, fears and risks of war;
- nonviolence as an unavoidable choice;
- equivocality: on the side of the victims.
We took the Operation Dove course for new volunteers and female volunteers and thus had an experience full of energy and personal growth that allowed us to get to know in depth the motivations of the volunteers present and those who have decided to put their time at the disposal of those who need friendly presences in the field.
Therefore, we feel the duty and pleasure of sharing this fundraiser with you.
Mary and Maria Teresa
