Bob Luitweiler

Bob Luitweiler (born 1918) is the founder of Servas Open Doors, an international organization serving peace through direct, human-to-human contact between international travelers and "hosts" who offer sanctuary to SERVAS members. According to Mr. Luitweiler upon his 80th birthday, SERVAS has approximately 14,000 "hosts" in 160 countries.

Luitweiler has lived and worked in a multitude of cultures around the world, and is self-described as "a non-academic sociology student traveling the world and visiting social movements, studying those that seem to be helping bring about a society free of the seeds of war... without the injustices and racial prejudices that seem to be quite rife in our society."
