I will be in Northern Ireland for a good bit of June leading a group of American youth workers visiting folks in Belfast and Ulster around youth violence and reconciliation programs. May come into London after that. If it makes any sense, I could visit the projects you mention in late June, perhaps. Let me know. mmm
Thanks for your comment :) I'm quite new to this work, myself - just trying to find out what's normal and what we can do that's a bit out of the ordinary!
