Anglican priest and anti-apartheid militant who in 1990 lost both hands and an eye in a letter-bomb attack sponsored by the South African secret service.  Strengthened by the support and affection he received from people all over the world, Michael Lapsley embarked on a long journey of recovery which enabled him, as he puts it, to move from victim to survivor and to emerge from this ordeal as the victor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the fall of the apartheid regime, realising that South Africa was still a \u201cdeeply divided and wounded society\u201d, in 1998 Michael Lapsley founded the Institute for Healing of Memories<\/a> (IHOM). (*)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 17 June 2021, Michael Lapsley was elected first President of the Healing of Memories Global Network, which currently brings together groups from the following countries: Canada, Lesotho, Luxembourg, Myanmar, Namibia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, USA and Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
