Kumar Lewis

I met Kumar Lewis at a Parties for Peace event at the Pink Cow in Shibuya on February 18. I thought he was a really cool guy.

Then while I was in New Zealand last month I heard that he had been killed in Africa. Check out all the awesome things he did during his life at http://www.kumarlewis.com.

This kind of thing makes me realize the importance of "capturing the moment" and the power of being able to share such moments with others.

Audrey's Favorite Poem

Audrey Howatson works for Peaceboat Japan and does some amazing things in both Japan and around the world.

In this video taken at a Bee Japan party she spontaneously recited a poem she had learned by heart. The poem is called "My IQ" by Ani DiFranco.
