This week's Rotary Foundation Thought highlights the unique relationship between two Rotary Peace and Conflict Studies Program (RPCS) alumni.
Raveendra Pathiranage, senior state counsel in the attorney general's office in Sri Lanka, and Thevananth Thevanayagam, program manager for the Refugees Rehabilitation Organization in Sri Lanka, providing food, shelter, rehabilitation, and other assistance to Tamil refugees, found themselves unlikely classmates in the inaugural session of the RPCS Program. After arguing incessantly, the two formed a strong bond, united in a desire to bring peace to their homeland. "We erased the hard feelings and went on to -- What can we do to solve the problem? What can we contribute?" said Pathiranage. The two remain close friends even a year after completing the three-month program, which Pathiranage describes as more useful than a year's worth of graduate study.
Every minute of every day somewhere in the world our Rotary Foundation is making a difference in someone's life.
