Friends of IofC Argentina of course were disappointed when the Gandhi’s were unable to visit their nation during their time in Latin America with the Gandhi Voyage.

On the 23rd of June the Gandhi Voyage travelling group reached Brazil, a country known for its energizing samba, colorful carnival and fantastic football.

The Latin American leg of the ‘Voyage of Dialogue and Discovery’ began last week in Mexico City, one of the world’s most populated cities. Mexico is winning on the football field, and the surge of nationalism and pride accompanying their team’s success is palpable. But beyond the flag flying and painted faces of green, white and red, are Mexicans ready to take the next steps as a people, ‘from patriotism to citizenship’ to claim their history, take responsibility for their challenges and become the leaders in world they should be?

The Gandhi Voyage has reached Mexico, with a small team joining the Gandhis for visits to Latin America.

The Gandhi Voyage of dialogue and discovery came to Washington DC from 7-12 June. The various engagements dovetailed with efforts by Initiatives of Change in the USA to overcome the 'trust deficit'. Chris Breitenberg reports.

Mike Brown reports on the visit of Rajmohan Gandhi, President of Initiatives of Change International, to Japan, where he met met Prime Minister Hatoyama, former Prime Minister Nakasone, and gave several talks.
