Testimonials
"Lindsay is an exceptional peacebuilder and reflective practitioner. I have had the privilege of working with her for 15 years and what she has done is nothing short of remarkable, both in Uganda where she lived for a period, and in her home community in the States. She has unimpeachable integrity, gets on with people brilliantly, has a dynamism and natural optimism that sparkles and lead with natural grace and poise. She is also someone who understands how community works, how community-based reconciliation projects can genuinely contribute to cohesion and stability and how the human spirit informs all of this. I cannot recommend her high enough."
- Fanie Du Toit, Former Executive Director, Institute for Justice and Reconciliation, South Africa
