An educator, activist, mother, writer and advocate of active
nonviolence, discusses her passion for peace with the Citizens for Peace as
well as the public at Unity of Livonia Tuesday, December 11th at 7
p.m.
Kim Redigan, of Dearborn Heights,
who teaches at U of D High School, will tell of her recent trip to Haiti where she participated in a Peace Camp for
the children living in Cite Soleil, a shantytown outside of Port-au-Prince. Her first trip to Haiti took her to the mountainous area for a
celebration of the first college graduating class in rural Haiti.
With the two different perspectives of education in Haiti, Kim will share her experiences and
impressions of education in Haiti.
Kim also teaches Social Justice at a two week Peace Camp
every summer in Detroit.
Her passion for peace has taken her to the Middle East
with the Michigan Peace team three times in the last ten years. She is a
nonviolence trainer with the Michigan Peace Team and writes for their newsletter.
Kim serves on the board of Pax Christi MI; the
Michigan Coalition of Human Rights; Southeastern MI Jobs with Justice; and is
on the Coordinating Committee of the Detroit Area Peace with Justice Network. She
is a peace ambassador with an extensive background of peace activism and will
give a dynamic presentation on education in Haiti.
There will also be a Book Exchange after the
presentation. Anyone bringing a favorite
book to trade can select another book to take home. Unity of Livonia is located at 26880 Five Mile Road.
All are welcome.
