Click Here for Women as Peacemakers & Storytellers

This month is all about methods women use to foster peace in their homes and writ large -the context of peace as social action.

ZWCR features storyteller Koketso Ferriera, gazelletales@yahoo.com , who shares a folktale about how one woman sets about making peace within her home with a retelling of a Ghanian tale"The Lion's Whiskers", Don't miss it!

Zonta Club of New Rochelle's Lisa Louis-Burton and Area 1 Director Leslie Wright team up to help make New Rochelle Public Library a stop on the September Global Peace Tour-bringing "Pray The Devil Back to Hell" a film by Abigail Disney and Directed by Gini Reticker to the Ossie Davis Theater in New Rochelle. The film tells the triumphant story of Muslim and Christian women in Liberia employing satyāgraha to confront the repressive Taylor regime and to put a stop to the decades long civil conflict by agitating for peace.
