Janice Gallagher is working as a volunteer with the Fellowship of Reconciliation in Colombia. She biked from Boston to DC to raise awareness about the human rights situation in Colombia and money for the organization in November of 2006, and even though her bike was stolen in Bogotá, she got another one and keeps on periodically pedaling...for peace. So the name still works? right? Janice is based out of FOR's Bogotá office.

In thinking about what motivates me to do this work, more than anything else it is the phenomenon of disappearances: this woman lost her son when he was taken away by men dressed in military uniforms. She has been unable to determine his whereabouts since then.
