PRESIDENT VICE PRESIDENT TREASURER SECRETARY A Plea From The Ulster Project In late June 2006, eight teens from Northern Ireland will arrive for a month in the metro Detroit area. They’ll need a place to stay, a family to welcome them and a teen to host them. That’s where you come in! From approximately June 29th to July 28th, the American host teens and the visiting Northern Irish teens get together for an intensely programmed month of educational, social, service and spiritual activities designed to allow them to learn about diversity and conflict resolution in an atmosphere far removed from the tensions of Northern Ireland. Our program promotes reconciliation between Northern Irish Catholics and Protestants by fostering tolerance, understanding and friendship among future leaders. This is a fancy way of saying that while they’re having a fantastic time; they’re also working for peace in the world! We are looking for teens, age 14-16, who are open to new friendships and experiences. We need a welcoming family environment, and the availability of both teen and family throughout the entire month long project. Please consider participating in the Ulster Project. Although the project
requires an investment of time and energy, the rewards are incredible. The
Ulster Project is a real and effective way to move towards peace in Ireland. |
