Greetings!

First and foremost, thank you! We are delighted to inform you that we met the $20,000 Biosophical Institute Challenge Grant. This has been a confidence builder for our team in these serious economic times as we prepare to introduce NPA's National Certificate Program in 2012. 

 

In this NPA Newsletter we are excited to share with you the report from PPI 2011, the Peacebuilding Peacelearning Intensive held at Champlain College in Burlington, Vermont July 17-23. We are holding all in that beautiful state in our thoughts and prayers as they rebuild from the devastation of hurricane Irene.

 

We also wish to remind you about NPA's exciting line-up of courses this fall. We've added a new course and partnership since our last newsletter:  check out the online course offering with Teachers Without Borders! Also, be on the lookout for emails from us over the next few days, each one offering details on exciting learning opportunities in the National Certificate Program.

 

Heartfelt gratitude for your support, encouragement and shared responsibility,
