| The Mothers of May Square - their struggle
for human rights |
 More
than 30 000 people are estimated to have disappeared during the military
dictatorship in Argentina from 1976 to 1983. On our visit to Buenos
Aires we are confronted with this dark chapter of recent Argentine
history as we meet some of the 'Mothers of May Square'.'Madres de
Plaza de Mayo' is an organisation founded by the mothers of these
missing children, husbands, brothers and sisters. They derived their
name from May Square in Buenos Aires, which is where they started
their protests in 1977.The fate of many of their missing family members
is still unknown today. - MORE |

education and Argentina's youth |
 In
the face of all the global challenges the 21st century has brought
with it, the decade from 2001 until 2010 was declared the International
Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non Violence for the Children of
the World by the UNESCO. Everywhere around the world and often unnoticed
by the mainstream media, which generally seems more interested in
reporting wars and disasters, there are countless people working hard
to create a more peaceful and tolerant world for our children. - MORE |

 A
big fat yellow moon rising, glorious orange sunsets in the middle
of the Atlantic and the Southern Cross sparkling in the night sky
- these are just some of the things that make travelling on the Peace
Boat such a special experience.There is something unique and amazing
about being able to attend lectures, seminars, meetings and events
and then step outside to see dolphins surfacing next to the boat or
find yourself gazing at the skyline of Rio de Janeiro or the stunning
Table Mountain. - MORE |
