[Peace and Justice Works]

Hi
For those of you who missed Desiree, Becky and Don's presentation at our 
summer quarterly meeting in July, the video will be playing back on cable 
access the next two weeks, as I noted in my email from the other 
organization I'm with, Flying Focus.

"Report from Viet Nam 2015" next two weeks on the Video Bus

Peace and Justice Works board member Desiree Hellegers joined a delegation
led by Veterans for Peace Chapter 160 in April, 2015. Her report back on
that trip, enhanced with commentary by Portland activist Becky Luening and
Viet Nam veteran Don Blackburn, both of the Vietnam Friendship Village
Project USA, is featured on the next two episodes of our weekly series,
the Flying Focus Video Bus.

Hellegers, a founding member of the Center for Social and Environmental
Justice at WSU Vancouver*, witnessed the effects of Agent Orange, the
continuing threat of Unexploded Ordinance (which have killed over 60,000
people since the withdrawal of American Troops), and the return of
Monsanto, which manufactured Agent Orange. Her talk is supplemented by
photos she took on the journey. Luening, who's a member of Veterans for
Peace, describes the process of founding the Friendship Village and how it
helps war survivors and their children. Blackburn, with the VFP 160
chapter in Viet Nam, reads from his writings and explains how the
Vietnamese people unexpectedly were grateful and welcoming to US veterans
who returned to the country. Blackburn's books are "Into the Heart" and
"All You Have Given: Meditations on War, Peace and Reconciliation."

This program was video captured by Joe Anybody and co-produced by Barb
Greene and Dan Handelman.
