Few people have quite such wide roots across the globe, both the motivation & outgrowth of a life of compassionate work in many countries. Jens Braun grew up in Ecuador, the son of parents who had worked as missionaries and with the Peace Corps. After college in the US, his curious nose took him for a term to Ramallah Friends School, in the Palestinian West Bank, and his connection with Spee Beer there, eventually Spee Braun, led them to work in a number of countries, including Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Sudan, Gaza, Iraq, Kenya, Zambia, and with organizations like Save the Children, and in other positions, close to the people & the realities of many nations. Further work include dedicated service to Connecticut Friends School, the Alternative to Violence Project (AVP), and the establishment of QIVC – Quaker Intentional Village-Canaan. Their experience & service has been rich, including a bird's eye view of the Middle East, and life-long energy to heal the world. They live in East Chatham, NY.
