restorative narratives
Explore forgiveness through real-life stories

Mark Henderson
"Returning to Colombia, and hearing Antonio say sorry, and that he regretted what they’d done, was very healing indeed."
Stacy Bannerman
"Forgiveness won’t change the past, but it can change the present, which is where the future starts."
Salimata Badji Knight
"Out of rage came compassion, and the realisation that this was not my mother's fault, nor the fault of the women who had done this to me. They were simply blinded by tradition."
Magdeline Makola
"Forgiveness is different from trusting. You don’t have to trust someone just because they are forgiven."
