But Rotary Peace Fellows from Chulalongkorn University recently had that opportunity. They traveled to the Philippines to investigate the longtime conflict in Mindanao at a highstakes point: during the final stages of promising peace negotiations. The fellows met with members of Congress, representatives of the president, indigenous leaders, and the chairman of the Mindanao Islamic Liberation Front, among others. Classroom study can provide the per- EDITOR S APOLOGY spective necessary to understand the theoretical framework for conflict resolution, but there s nothing quite like studying the challenges and opportunities of the process on the ground. It was brought to my attention that our fabulous photographer, Dieter Deiss, was not given credit for his amazing club photography in this year s newsletters. Each week Dieter s pictures are posted on our Facebook page, website and in the newsletter. Thank you, Dieter, for your dedication and fine artistic eye.
