Producer: Dave Klassen
Dave has spent "over half his life" living and working in Africa, with faith-based development organizations. He lived for seven years in Uganda from 1997-2004 where he administered Mennonite Central Committee's work with local partners around the country. A good portion of his work focused on relief and peace projects in the north of the country. It was this experience that put him in touch with the stories - stories of real people suffering great losses yet with a courage to move on and let go. He was also inspired by the commitment of religious leaders - Christian and Muslim - to advocate together for peace. Upon returning to Canada, his passion to share these stories grew. Collaboration with Across Boundaries has made the fulfillment of this dream possible |
