> The *Friends Peace Center* in San Jose, Costa Rica, has been working for
> peace in Central America since 1989. Recent funding cuts, restrictions
> concerning the type and scope of services to be provided and the pressure
> to convert to a religious organization in order to maintain funding from
> outside sources in the US and London have jeopardized the Center's
> continued existence and ability to serve the diverse needs of its
> community.
>
> Donations are sorely needed so that the center can maintain permanent
> services (conferences, training, community outreach, etc.) in such areas
> as: non-violent conflict resolution, peace and social justice, gender
> equality and gay rights. The Center's ability to continue to provide
> vital meeting space for community groups working towards these ends is
> also in jeopardy.
>
> Additionally,the Center is partially funded by Ridgeway House, its guest
> house for people seeking a comfortable, accessible and affordable place to
> stay in San Jose. Guests are needed to help support the Center's
> activities. You may contact CAP for more information about planning a
> stay while in Costa Rica. The telephone number is 33-6168 (US
> access:011-506).
>
> Inspired by the Quaker tradition of promoting non-violent change for
> justice and peace, the Center understands peace to be "not only the
> absence of war, but also the process of developing societies characterized
> by equality, justice, freedom of expression and full opportunity for all".
>
> Please pass on this information to individuals or organizations whom you
> feel might be able to help the Friends Peace Center. Thank you.
>
> To make a donation in any amount, please make checks payable to:
> Centro de los Amigos para la Paz
> and send to:
> Apdo. 1507-1000, San Jose Costa Rica
>
> Or for a tax deductible contribution in the US, you may donate directly to
> FWCC, specifying CAP as the recipient at:
> 1506 Race St, Philadelphia PA 19102
