- Linda K. Williams, Darnall E-Campus

"This communication is a new field and a necessary one for our Rwandan people. We have lived traumatic moments over and over again...with no hope of escape. [We] therefore had a real desire to fully take in this nonviolent communication as a peaceful alternative."
- Theodore Nyilidandi, Rwanda
"The use of NVC is a lifelong path towards peace and freedom and joy. I am enthusiastic and privileged to place my feet upon it."

- Nafez Assailey, Palestinian Authority
"I wish with all my heart that we had been able to give the previous generation of students these skills. If we had, they would have had other means for resolving differences than violence."
