We suspect that there are many other local peace zones and communities throughout the Asian region, quiteapart from those in the Philippines, where the movement for establishing local peace communities started in Luzon. However, to date we have only managed to identify those in two countries, Burma/Myanmar and Sri Lanka.
If any reader has suggestions for other entries [recall that we define peace "zones" very broadly to include communities or what are called 'experiencias' in Colombia] we would be happy to learn about them, so please contact the organisers at [email protected] or [email protected]
