The Mennonite Central Committee asked if they could make a video of some of the stories from Peace Tales.    They chose to use the stories,  "Strength,"  "Two Foxes," and  "The Argument Sticks."     Zimbabwean teller Lora Chiorah-Dye's performance of "Strength" is amazing.

The video can be ordered  from the Mennonite Central Committee, who will also loan a copy for the price of return postage. www.mcc.org
