DESCRIPTION:Nadine Hoover is coordinator of the FPT Indonesia.  A member of Alfred (NY) 
 Meeting, she has traveled in the ministry among US Quakers for over a 
 decade, with a minute from New York Yearly Meeting. Formerly secretary to 
 Southeastern Yearly Meeting, Nadine has extended her ministry to Indonesia, 
 coordinating the Indonesia Initiative of Friends Peace Teams. A 
 conscientious objector to war and war taxes, she supports her  ministry 
 through donations and massage therapy.\n\nThe first Initiative of Friends 
 Peace Teams was the African Great Lakes [Rwanda-Burundi] Initiative. Now 
 there are two more: the Indonesian Initiative and a Peacebuilding in the 
 Americas project. \n\nNadine currently coordinates the work in Ache, North 
 Sumatra, West Java and Central Java. She is helping refugees struggling to 
 live sustainably in a forest.  They manufacture colloidal silver filters to 
 make water safe for drinking without boiling it, and "rocket stoves" which 
 conserve firewood and direct smoke out of homes. For some time now she has 
 been teaching Alternatives to Violence Project, after translating it into 
 Indonesian.\n\nSome of these AVP workshops have included people from both 
 sides in the 30-year war. Nadine has also set up several preschools and has 
 been paying for the teachers to go to college for early childhood 
 education. All of this empowers the Indonesians to carry on these projects 
 and their own projects.\n\nWebsite with snapshots of Indonesian
