New Opportunities, New Friends

This has been a busy week for Fix the Hurt. So much going on, and most all of it "good stuff".




Last Sunday evening about 10:00 PM we got an e-mail from the Marine Air Station in Iwakuni Japan, telling us they had the "green light" on funding to start the process to take Domestic Violence the Musical?, to Japan. It is intended that the play will be shown to Marines, Sailors, schools and the community in general. We are working to get the details resolved, and hopefully, the cast will be there in April delivering the Domestic Violence Prevention Message.


What an honor to be a part of assisting the military in resolving some of the domestic abuse issues around the world.




On Tuesday, we went to Florence, Arizona Prison and presented a program to 16 of the inmates that are in the restorative justice program there. We are always impressed with the caliber of the people that come to presentations from the Arizona Department Of Corrections programs. The program appears to be working well and they are having about a 97 % success rate with inmates that graduate for this program.




We had an opportunity Saturday night to visit the Phoenician Resort and Spa in Scottsdale, Arizona to meet and talk with Lisa Addeo, who entertains in the Thirsty Camel Lounge in the evenings. What a delight to see her perform and talk with her about Domestic Abuse. Lisa has written as song about domestic abuse, My Intuition, and is talking about joining forces to help us get the message out. So, a new friend and ally is added to the growing group joining the Fix the Hurt Domestic Abuse prevention effort.




FROM EL PASO AND PHOENIX TO JAPAN! WHERE NEXT???
