Catherine Honeyman, a 2004 graduate of Harvard University and a member of the PON staff from 2002-2004, has been awarded a $10,000 research grant by Towards Reconciliation, Columbia University’s international conflict resolution society.
Honeyman and three other finalists presented proposals for promoting reconciliation in regions afflicted by conflict. The objective of Honeyman’s winning proposal is to implement in rural Rwanda an innovative, grassroots secondary education program that fosters community relations while developing literacy and communication skills.
