    Council Member Facilitators

    Andre Sheldon, Founder of GS of NV - Peace Activist

    Since 2002, Andre Sheldon has been researching and
    developing a peace plan that promotes women as the
    catalyst for change in a male dominant world.  His theory
    is that the world must illustrate its desire for nonviolence
    overtly and women, leading the way, will create a critical
    mass of people that mandates all governments to
    eliminate war.  
PEACE and LOVE

How beautiful the world is when we live and work together in peace.
