VOLUNTEERING AND INTER-BEING

Lynn MacMichael

The Review of Faith & International Affairs, 2012, vol. 10, issue 1, 49-50

Abstract: The author volunteered with Operation Crossroads Africa (OCA) in 1963 in Zambia. The "hands on" approach of building a community center reinforced the importance of being connected to others and joining together with them in their struggles. This understanding of the power of presence later motivated the author to protest the Vietnam War and the U.S. nuclear weapons program, and to work toward peace in Nicaragua and the Middle East. Her OCA experience, along with Buddhist practice, motivated her to continue to volunteer in a variety of capacities.
