The Impact of Service



"I look at myself as having the potential to be as strong and caring as the amazing women I met in Kenya."

Kate Cummings (Tufts University) volunteered in 2009 as a Peace Fellow for Vital Voices in Africa.

End the Threat of Eviction at Dale Farm

End the threat of eviction at the Dale Farm Travellers community in the UK

After three years of advocating with the Advocacy Project against the threat of eviction, the Travellers of Dale Farm achieved a rousing success in 2008, when the British High Court accepted their argument and allowed them to stay on their land.

This decision is being appealed by the vengeful local council, but AP and the Dale Farm community are moving ahead with a constructive agenda to equip the new Community Center and to train Traveller children in the use of ICT.
