Nation Building on the Run: The Nablus Marathon
Published under Middle East, OneVoice Movement, Palestine, PeaceWorks Foundation Dec 27, 2010This past week, twenty OneVoice Youth Leaders participated in the annual Nablus Marathon, along with Prime Minister Salam Fayyad and approximately 5000 other participants. At the end of the marathon, the Youth Leaders, clad in OneVoice tee-shirts, had collected visions of 2018 from their huffing and puffing peers along the course.
The marathon itself is a concrete sign of nation building, and the Youth Leader’s participation, is a sign of the peaceful nation that will hopefully continue to be built.

Published under Gaza, Israel, Middle East, Mideast Negotiations, OneVoice Movement, Palestine, PeaceWorks Foundation Dec 21, 2010This TIME article about Palestinians, contained by the security wall is sad and poignant. This article depicts that many Israelis and Palestinians simply do not understand each other, because they do not get to know each other, and just reaffirms the vital need for OneVoice’s Imagine 2018 Campaign.
