Seventy five people came to Armagh for a second Action For Life 4 presentation night (the first was in June). The audience, including many Melbournians of African background, heard Joanne Nabanja from Uganda and Ann Njeri from Kenya tell about deep changes they had experienced. Joanne spoke of finding the will to apologise to relatives for their mistreatment of her immediate family, and Ann about initiating meetings with representatives of a rival tribe in her own home.

As an outcome a meeting was arranged for Ann and Joanne to dialogue with members of the Ethiopian Youth Committee about conflicts within their community. Following their conversation it was decided to organise a 'Discover The Other' workshop next month in Melbourne's western suburbs to bring together people from all sides of the conflict situations, to get people talking to each other rather than about each other.

Abdulkarim Galea, Principal of the Australian International Academy, initiated a leadership training day at Armagh for student leaders from four of the largest Islamic schools in Victoria. On the theme, 'What kind of leader?', the program included a panel of six speakers, group discussion, question and answer sessions and team games. Staff members who attended were delighted with the occasion.
