Mrs. Yaga C.
Gonzalez, born in Paris to
a Senegalese
father and a Syrian-born Turkish mother. I lived the
Middle East with my Diplomat father, I was brought to
 witness
the hopes and deceptions for a region that has grown and developed in the shadow
of conflicts and to experience it's culture, traditions,
religions,
and
society during the eight years I lived there. This experience has helped
me develop a better understanding of the views that are being held by various
parties. Decades of distrust are at the origin; through education and dialog,
fears can gradually fade, giving a place the acknowledgment and respect of
difference.
USFMEP Board and members welcome her appointment as the director of Geneva
office.
