Rosie, Neal and Princess Spread the Word About COE in Switzerland

It is not every day that we get to go to Switzerland! At the beginning of February, Princess Ogechi Ukaga, COE Chapter Leader of Nigeria, flew into Zurich from Abuja and gathered with two other COE friends, Pro Bono Senior Advisor, Neal Meier from Vermont and Youth Programs Manager, Rosie Waygood from Oxford. The trip was dedicated to a new fundraising platform that had been carved out by Nina’s joint efforts with friends in Switzerland - Regula Curti, Marco Steiger and Frieda Radford who have generously supported us in building awareness in Europe of COE and its work. This is just the initial meeting and as Nina was sadly unable to join the event, we hope that come summer we will be able to hold a large gathering with lots of inspired individuals. Our wish is to invite friends and the wider community to help drive forward some of our global initiatives, including funding scholarships and training for a monumental gathering that will unite chapter leaders across Africa in a proactive One Peaceful Africa event in 2015. The next fundraising and awareness building gathering in Switzerland will be at the end of this summer. If you would like to join us and help build these projects, please contact Neal.Meier@myunion.edu or rosie@coeworld.org. We look forward to hearing from you!
