Peace over Violence One by One

By Anne Friesen

Dear Friends,

Women entering our domestic violence shelter, Serenity House, have
taken a courageous step to regain control over their lives and ensure
safety for themselves & their children. The focus in the shelter is on stabilizing lives, helping them understand their options, and increasing their ability to achieve their goals.
