Till Break of Day by Marina Cantacuzino

Whole communities and powerful individuals were opposed to the building of London Lighthouse, but since it opened in 1988 it has provided a sanctuary for men and women facing the challenge of HIV and AIDS. This is Marina Cantacuzino's story of how she enrolled as a volunteer at the Lighthouse and discovered a community created out of crisis. There are funny, sad, dangerous and frustrating moments in a story of metamorphosis, as the author's perceptions and understanding of the issues evolved.
Cantacuzino, Marina: - Marina Cantacuzino is an award-winning journalist who in 2003, in response to the imminent invasion of Iraq, embarked on a personal project collecting stories from people who had lived through violence, tragedy or injustice and sought forgiveness rather than revenge. In 2004, she founded The Forgiveness Project (www.theforgivenessproject.com), a charitable organisation that uses real personal narratives to explore how ideas around forgiveness, reconciliation and conflict resolution can be used to impact positively on people's lives. In 2012, Marina spoke at the UN General Assembly about the work of The Forgiveness Project and, in 2015, she was awarded an Honorary Fellowship by the Dalai Lama Centre for Compassion.
