Peacetrees Vietnam builds beloved community that spans the globe. For twenty years, this Seattle-based organization has brought teams of Americans and Vietnamese together to repair the wounds of war. These teams restore the ecology that was obliterated in Quang Tri Province, where the United States blasted a twenty mile wide swath from Laos to the sea, in order to interdict the North Vietnamese army. They also have built a village for 100 families, schools, libraries, and have assisted many landmine victims in receiving treatment and repairing their lives.
As they have restored the land, American veterans and their kin have met with their Vietnamese counterparts to reconcile put to rest the wounds of body and spirit that the war brought about, truly exemplifying the essential spirit of beloved community.
