For the last month I have been volunteering at the Direction Action Center for Peace and Memory (DACPM or DAC for short), an organization run by ex-combatants who were part ending the apartheid. I work with a man named Yazir Henri who has done some speaking around the United States and started the organization so that he could be a part of rewriting the history of the people who he fought with for freedom. I work with three other students, Ashley, Martin and Rebecca. I am there four days a week and we have been working on organizing a conference in March.
The conference focuses on the idea of masculinity and how years of violence perpetuates cycles of violence within communities in South Africa. I have been doing a lot of work inviting speakers and getting down the basics of what the format for the conference will be. I am also working on getting the text put together for the DAC website. This is exciting to do because I am able to learn about all of the different program that the DAC does.
