Nature knows no borders at the
Arava
Institute of Environmental
Sciences. Here
Israelis, Palestinians, Jordanians and other
international students are prepared to solve their
region's environmental challenges together. They live,
study, and work together for extended periods of time,
enabling them to form relationships and networks that
lay the foundation for a cooperative, peaceful future in
the Middle East. Check out the website of this amazing
place when you are need of a dose of practical hope for
the future!
Sites for Grassroots Peace-Building in the Middle
East
The following websites include people and
groups I visited in July 2009. These are grassroots
projects for peaceful relationship-building in
Israel/Palestine and are facilitated by courageous people.
There are many more projects and organizations. I encourage
you to find them and support them, for it is at the
grassroots level where people can meet, get to know one
another, and form sustained, cooperative networks.
