Widad – a Perspective

“The blessing was... personal for Lori and I and our two daughters who helped host Widad while she was here. Priceless is what the tag reads on the experience where a girl and young adult woman can meet a woman who is a world leader of peace and justice. The future is bright because it is theirs!” ~Director Kent Ferris

… of Hope, Purpose

“Last week’s encounter with human rights activist Widad Akreyi impacted me in ways I couldn't have imagined. I met Widad at a luncheon before she received the Pacem in Terris Peace and Freedom Award on the St. Ambrose University campus in Davenport. She greeted everyone in the dining room like a longtime friend, including me... she conveys a sense of love for all.” ~Editor Barb Arland-Fye

… Promise …

“Dr. Widad is an extraordinary leader for Global Peace... You are the epitome of global peace and the greatest humanitarian for human rights. Your life is such a powerful inspiration... In God's time the world is witnessing your huge heart. God blessed you with a strong and courageous spirit! May his glory forever smile upon you! Thank you for dedicating your life to humanity and global peace. Be encouraged!” ~ Advocate and speaker Al Colvin

& Perseverance

“I would have loved if someone had noticed how my childhood was ruined because of conflicts… Now, I'd like to help the survivors acknowledge their experiences. I want them to know that I'll be there to communicate their suffering and highlight the contradictory emotions they often evoke. My aim is to take part in the process of empowering them... There are glimmers of hope, even in dark times.” ~Dr. Widad Akreyi
