Gandhi Foundation’s 2008 Peace Award given to two contributors to the Success of Peace in Northern Ireland
We have previously blogged on the Success of Peace in Northern Ireland on “Break Down the Walls & Build Bridges of Understanding, Love and Peace.” The Gandhi Foundation’s 2008 Peace Award was awarded to two key participants to the Peace process in Northern Ireland, the Reverend Harold Good and Father Alex Reid.
