Ulster Project Arlington

(password required)

The Ulster Project Arlington begins it's 16th year of ecumenical peace making in Northern Ireland.

For fifteen years, Arlington has provided host families for 16 Northern Irish teenagers from Belfast, Northern Ireland. Our purpose has one goal, simply to let the Northern Irish teens realize that religious differences are beneficial, not detrimental. The Project accomplishes this through activities in July that encompass community service, fun activities like Six Flags, team building exercises, and attending both Protestant and Catholic services.

John Carlson, Past President (Trail Name: O.M.River)

Track John on 2100 mile hike for the Project!

His trek is from South to North

John has asked that 100 (or more) Ulster Project supporters help him with his walk by pledging a penny a mile($21.74) "If I go all the way that will be a $2,174 donation for the Project and a reason for me to put on my boots and keep going every day." he said.

So to help John and get to read his journals along the way send an e-mail to him pledging a penny a mile ( or just send us a check for $21.76) at john.carlson2@tx.rr.com and he will send you email updates along the entire trip.

John departed on Feb16th.

The Percent Complete chart will be updated monthly. Currently showing 902 miles complete as of 5/31/09 and has just entered Virgina.
