Niles-3/8/10-IANSA New York City Office

When I arrived at the IANSA offices, i expected to walk into a room with tons of high-tech gear and people working at high rate.  On the phone, typing reports and other office like things.  But, when I went upstairs and walked into the room,  I saw almost the complete opposite.  I saw a man, Mark Marge, dressed in a suit, in front a normal computer at an old-school desk.  There also tons of posters on the walls, talking about peace for all,  human rights, civil rights and many other U.N related issues.  After I settled into the room with my group, we introduced ourselves to Sarah Masters, a woman who is big exec in the IANSA world that works in London but came over for the event that we were going to tomorrow.  My group and I then rehearsed our piece in front of Ms. Masters multiple times so we could do our best tomorrow at our Conference at the U.N.  After we rehearsed, we got to learn a little about Ms. Masters and her work and how she got into gun violence.  She is a person who is well known in the gun violence world, and we were all very lucky to have the opportunity to meet her.
