PEACEBUILDING EN LAS AMÈRICAS — Each experienced facilitator has formed a small group with two or three apprentice facilitators just beginning their AVP journey. Together, using digital means, they propose exercises to the wider facilitator team—activities that encourage reflection, whether in the quiet depths of our inner selves or within the warmth of our homes. Cada facilitador con mayor recorrido ha formado un pequeño grupo con dos o tres de los que inician su entrenamiento en PAV, para, juntos, a través del manual digital, proponer al grupo de facilitadores, ejercicios que nos ayuden a reflexionar en la intimidad de nuestro ser o en el calor del hogar. Este proceso es una oportunidad para pensar el sentido de la vida, la coherencia de nuestras acciones y la vigencia de nuestros valores, reafirmando así nuestra apuesta trascendente por la paz y el poder que transforma.

NORTH AMERICA — We stand in solidarity with our neighbors, many of whom experience extreme anxiety and fear on the day of their court appearance. We are not attorneys, but we can talk with respondents during court breaks and in the hallways, console them and listen to their stories. Some volunteers pray with respondents when requested to do so. Several of us join with members of St. Camillus Roman Catholic Church (Silver Spring, MD) in a prayer witness at the court entrance every other Thursday prior to the start of afternoon sessions. Prayer witness members greet immigrants entering and leaving the court building and, if requested, pray with them.
