ADRIAN DOMINICAN MICHIGAN PEACE TEAM SEEKS TO MAINTAIN OUR LONG-TERM PRESENCE IN PALESTINE/ISRAEL AND TO STABILIZE OUR PRESENCE IN JUAREZ, MEXICO OR A NEW INTERNATIONAL LOCATION AND ALSO TO RESPOND TO THE EVER-INCREASING REQUESTS FOR NONVIOLENCE TRAINING AND PEACE TEAMS WITHIN THE UNITED STATES. MICHIGAN PEACE TEAM WILL ACHIEVE THESE GOALS BY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF TRAINED NONVIOLENCE TRAINERS THUS INCREASING THE NUMBER OF WORKSHOPS OFFERED ANNUALLY AND MAXIMIZING THE POOL OF POTENTIAL PEACE TEAM PARTICIPANTS. WE ALSO NEED TO RECRUIT EXPERIENCED TEAM LEADERS TO ACCOMPANY TEAMS. WE REFER TO THESE AS "ANCHORS." WE HAVE INCREASED OUR NUMBER OF NONVIOLENCE TRAINERS AS WELL AS INTERNATIONAL TEAM TRAINERS.$37,483
PALESTINE/ISRAEL WE HAVE SECURED TWO ADDITIONAL ANCHORS AND IN DIALOGUE WITH OTHERS, BUT CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE TO FIND PEOPLE WHO CAN COMMIT TO THE PROGRAM OVER SEVERAL YEARS. WE INCREASED THE NUMBER OF AVAILABLE INTENRATIONAL TEAM TRAINERS TO NINE (ALSO INCREASING BASIC SKILLS TRAINERS). DURING 2014 THERE WAS ONE TRAINER PLACED ABROAD.
SISTERS OF MERCY DURING THE GRANT YEAR, WE WERE ABLE TO OFFER NONVIOLENCE SKILLS TRAINING TO PEOPLE TRAINED IN NONVIOLENCE SKILLS AND PREPARED TO PARTICIPATE IN PEACE TEAMS. IT IS DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN HOW MANY PEOPLE THIS PEACE TEAM'S WORK HAS AFFECTED; NOT ONLY ARE THERE PEOPLE WE COME IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH AS WE ENGAGE IN THIRD-PARTY NONVIOLENT INTERVENTION WORK, BUT ALSO THOSE WHO ARE AFFECTED INDIRECTLY AS THEY READ OUR ARTICLES AND BLOG POSTINGS ABOUT THE IMPACT THIS WORK IS HAVING - FURTHER REINFORCING THE PRECEPT THAT "NONVIOLENCE WORKS."$572
MICHIGAN PEACE TEAM EMPOWERS PEOPLE TO ENGAGE IN ACTIVE NONVIOLENT PEACEMAKING. MICHIGAN PEACE TEAM WAS STARTED IN 1993 IN RESPONSE TO THE GROWING NEED FOR CIVILIAN PEACEMAKERS BOTH IN THE UNITED STATES AND ABROAD.
