WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SUSTAIN ONGOING TEAMS WITHOUT A GAP DURING 2011-2012 DUE TO A SHORTAGE OF PEOPLE ABLE TO MAKE LONG-TERM COMMITMENTS, OFTEN DUE TO PERSONAL ECONOMIC FACTORS.

FINALLY, WE WERE ABLE TO FIELD THREE INTERNATIONAL PEACE TEAMS TO THE WEST BANK, AND ONE EMERGENCY PEACE TEAM TO PANAMA. ONE MORE THAN WHAT WE HAD AIMED FOR THIS YEAR.
