Description: 

Very little reporting from wartorn Syria in the US is first hand. Almost none comes from where the majority of Syrians live. Henry Lowendorf, Co-Chair of the Greater New Haven Peace Council led a delegation of 7 activists on a US Peace Council organized Peace and Fact-Finding delegation to Syria at the end of July. The delegation met with representatives of a variety of organizations - lawyers, school teachers, handworkers, student union, university faculty, leaders of industry, Muslim and Christian leaders, and high-level officials in the Syrian government, including President Bashar al Assad. Please join us August 27 with Henry Lowendorf and find out what he saw, heard and learned on his fact finding peace mission to Syria. Cosponsored by the US Peace Council and the City of New Haven Peace Commission Light Refreshments Served For More Info Contact: grnhpeacecouncil@gmail.com or 203-389-9547
