From March 9 to 18, 2023, MPI's Research, Documentation, and Learning (RDL) team visited Laos for various meetings with MPI alumni and existing and potential partner organizations.
Thirteen MPI alumni gathered at the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) office in Phonesavanh-Tai, Vientiane, on March 11. This gathering provided an opportunity for alumni to connect with other fellow alumni and share their experiences and knowledge in peacebuilding. This reunion would not have been possible without the help of two MPI key alumni in Laos and MCC Laos’ country director Andrea Bontrager Unzicker who assisted the RDL team in reconnecting with the alumni.
