2010 Fellow

This individual was a Peace Fellow in the summer of 2010. They traveled to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to work with SOS Femmes en Danger (SOSFED). During their fellowship, they helped to create the Ahadi quilts, which highlighted violence against women in the DRC. After their fellowship, they wrote: “I learned that I can follow something through even though at times it seems impossible.". Read their blogs below:



Ahadi Quilt Part One Officially Put to Rest

27 Oct

Yesterday, I sent approximately 100 Ahadi tiles to quilters in Washington, D.C. and Lansing, Michigan. So it goes that the first part of our project is complete.

I am immensely grateful to my colleagues at SOS FED, Marceline and Amisi; to the Capitol City Quilt Guild; to Rosamond Meerdink, who volunteered to coordinate quilting in Lansing; to the Faithful Circle Quilting Guild; and to AP staff. My gratitude goes especially to the project participants– women whose courage is unequaled and whose hard work on the Ahadi quilt will create a lasting legacy.
