section of the americas is numerically the second largest section and includes friends from all friends traditions in both north and south america as well as in the caribbean and central america. section of the americas is officially bi-lingual in spanish and english, though canada yearly meeting also operates in both english and french. fwcc's other quno branch is located adjacent to the new york un building and is closely connected with the quasi-quaker organisation american friends service committee (afsc). afsc was founded by friends and still has a substantially friends board of trustees, however, only the director of afsc is required to be a friend and the vast majority of afsc staff, including senior staff, are not friends and are not familiar with friends worship or testimonies leading to some friends' meetings distancing themselves from afsc and its activities. in 1947 the nobel peace prize was awarded to friends for 300 years of work for peace and received on behalf of friends by afsc and its london counterpart, the friends service committee, now known as quaker peace and social witness. approximately 160,000 friends live in the usa and some 300,000 live in latin america. us friends are often relatively affluent whereas many latin american friends come from relatively impoverished and oppressed indigenous communities. as in asia and africa, in latin america, friends are a growing church. section of the americas friends have a long history dating back to the mid-17th century. friends founded or helped found a number of the us states, notably pennsylvania, named after distinguished 17th century english friend, william penn; rhode island; new jersey and delaware all had substantial friends' contributions in their founding. william penn's constitutional documents for pennsylvania formed an important and influential source for the later united states constitution. in the early colonial period friends were persecuted in massachusetts and new york. friends also had a substantial impact in the early days of colonisation of the caribbean, for example in the 17th century and early 18th century 25% of the population of barbados was friends. the history of suffering is a uniting factor with latin american friends, many of whom live in difficult circumstances and find living the transformative peace testimony a daily commitment.
