Baluvelt, USA: "Even though the people in the United
State are very privileged in many ways compared to the quality of life of many
of their brothers and sisters who live on the edges of the global community, it
is our call and responsibility as Americans to stand in solidarity, to give and
to support the work for solidarity overseas, so that together we really become
one human family that is God’s desire and design."
Cuernavaca, Mexico: "The example of Dominicans and laity working at the FrayJulianGarcésCenter for Human Rights and Local
Development in Tlaxcala gives a face to the mission of the Dominican family in Mexico... They denounce the human rights abuses and proclaim the gospel message of
love and community, forming new groups of awareness."

Kabul, Aghanistan: "It has been an enriching experience, enlarging minds and hearts. We are members of one community, united in our purpose of serving these children.It was not easy at first, getting to know each other’s good qualities and weak points, but now I feel as if I am living with members of my own congregation, I feel at home.".
Report on the visit in Indonesia of Ms June Ross O.P. (Lay Dominican – I.C.L.D.F.)
"We met with Father Robini at the Centre for Research and Inter-religious
Dialogue (C.R.I.D.) We met the young Muslim
man in charge of the Centre and a student assistant, they both work jointly
with Father Robini. Through an
interpreter we learnt more of the wonderful work that “they” are all doing to
further the education of faiths between one another."
