And the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize goes to.....
Awarded jointly to Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Leymah Gbowee and Tawakkul Karman "for their non-violent struggle for the safety of women and for women’s rights to full participation in peace-building work".
YES!!!!!
Leymah Gbowee' message about being awarded this prize "that the other 50 percent of the world – the women of the world – that their skills, talents and intelligence should be utilized. And I think this message is a resounding agreement to all of our advocacies over the years. That truly women have a place, truly women have a face and truly the world has not been functioning well without the input, in every sphere, of women" brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart.

It is Nobel week
Yesterday started the Nobel Prize week. It was an interesting start because one of the Nobel Laureates passed away just three days before the announcement that he had won. The day was uncertain since the award is not to be given to someone posthumously. Fortunately the right thing to do prevailed.
Congratulations Ralph Steinman and may your work continue to help others.
