A new Ahtisaari school

Quote: <BR> <BR>&#34;The world&#39;s third school named after former president and recent Nobel Peace Prize recipient Martti Ahtisaari is to be built in Kuopio. The previous two schools were established decades ago in Namibia and Sudan.  <BR>Kuopio&#39;s new school is slated to open its doors in 2011.  <BR>Ahtisaari was given the Nobel Peace Prize last year for decades of conflict resolution work as an ambassador, an emissary of the UN, and as the head of his own organisation, the Crisis Management Initiative. The CMI&#39;s Director Kalle Liesinen thinks the school name is a fantastic idea.  <BR>&#34;It&#39;s a terrifically fun idea that Finland will also have a Martti Ahtisaari school. It could form a network with the other Martti Ahtisaari schools. That would be really glamorous,&#34; Liesinen told the newspaper Savon Sanomat. &#34; <BR> <BR> <BR>Source: <BR><a href="http://yle.fi/uutiset/news/2009/01/worlds_third_finlands_first_ahtisaari_school_to_be_built_508244.html" target=_top>http://yle.fi/uutiset/news/2009/01/worlds_third_fi nlands_first_ahtisaari_school_to_be_built_508244.h tml</a>
