The Purpose of Evaluations
Helen Chauncey
The Coexistence Initiative
Interviewed by

2003

We see several types of activities, each pegged to what I call program accountability. I'll give you a list of our activities and I'll note that each time we do one of these it's incumbent upon us to step back from it and say, "What are the lessons we have learned?" Then 6 months, 1 year, 2 years down the line do a health check on what we thought we learned in order to perpetually widen the circle. If you want to think of this as a spiral, we want the circumference of the circle to be ever larger as we move forward.

 
Hitler and Mussolini were only the primary spokesmen for the attitude of domination and craving for power that are in the heart of almost everyone. Until the source is cleared, there will always be confusion and hate, wars and class antagonisms. -- J. Krishnamurti
