“Our work is more important than ever. Events in the Middle East and elsewhere may test our stamina, but we must not give up on the dream of a better future.”

Dear Friends:

When my late husband John Wallach founded Seeds of Peace in 1993, few people could have imagined that in just a little more than a decade, we would have over 3,000 graduates representing twenty-two countries around the world. Seeds of Peace has taken root and blossomed into a globally recognized, robust organization empowering the next generation of leaders through training in conflict resolution and coexistence.

At our Leadership Summit in August 2005, our oldest alumni – Israelis, Palestinians, Egyptians and Jordanians who first attended the Seeds of Peace International Camp in the years between 1993 and 1999 – demonstrated that they are ready to tackle the challenges that leadership demands. The 120 participants took time off from jobs, school, army service and parenting to return for this first-ever Seeds of Peace reunion in Maine, re-sparking friendships and reinvigorating themselves with the spirit of their earlier experience.

These young adults, now in their early to mid-twenties, spoke of the profound impact that Seeds of Peace has had on their lives and the ways it has enriched everything from their personal relationships to their career paths. Their attitudes reflected a combination of the realities on the ground, a humanitarian outlook and a dedication to creating a better future.

As the number of graduates increases and as our alumni develop into mature adults, we must respond to their needs. With this in mind we face several exciting challenges:

Strengthening our follow-up programs. The Seeds of Peace International Camp is the starting point for our participants. This transformational experience demands continuing work with the delegates when they return home and entails projects on both a local community level and on a broad bilateral basis. This year through a number of initiatives in the Middle East and South Asia, Seeds of Peace continued to build its regional presence and lay the groundwork for sustained and expanded programming in every community where there are Seeds graduates. Furthermore, conferences and workshops in Jerusalem, Haifa, Barcelona, Mumbai, Washington D.C. and New York brought together Seeds from opposite sides and allowed them to continue their work in conflict resolution and coexistence.

Strengthening our organization. Our exciting pace of growth has also posed new organizational challenges and opportunities. We are working aggressively to bolster ourselves internally, sharp- ening our structure, streamlining processes and honing priorities. To this end, in 2006 we have added a Chief Operating Officer to our staff. We will also begin work on a strategic plan for the next five years so that we can clarify our direction and focus on our most important goals.

Our work is more important than ever. Events in the Middle East and elsewhere may test our stamina, but we must not give up the dream of a better future. As I write this, we are preparing young leaders to carry out that dream. On behalf of them and the Seeds of Peace family everywhere, thank you for your continued support. You can take pride in their success and in the future they will create for us all.

Sincerely,

4 Sports & Recreational Activities

A game of catch. Dining Hall cheers. A group swim across the lake. Hushed laughter in the bunks after lights out.

These seemingly ordinary slices of camp life are in fact the miracle of a living, breathing coexistence. Spontaneous exchanges between Israelis and Palestinians, Indians and Pakistanis – all but impossible at home – happen every day at Seeds of Peace.

During each visit, the Peer Support campers visited the State Department, White House, and congressional offices, in addition to other cultural and community institutions. One highlight of the trip was a special White House tour coordinated through the office of First Lady Laura Bush.

As in years past, the 2005 summer program concluded with a spirited and thrilling Color Basketball Clinic Games competition. For many campers, this play for peace is the highlight of the summer.

For Camp Director Tim Wilson, it’s a particularly moving experience. “Color Games at Camp is the equivalent of graduation in each session,” he said. “It is something to behold to see kids separate for two-and-a-half days, then sing a song together, run to shower and put Seeds of Peace green shirts on again,

and then cheer that they’re wearing them.” D.C.: Susi Eggenberger All photos except Washington

6 Political Seminar In July, seminars were first held for Israeli and Palestinian delegations as a foundation for a serious and larger bi-national political seminar that focused on the Palestinian elec- tions and the Israeli disengagement from Gaza. The final session included a private discussion with politicians and professional negotiators Sa’eb Erekat, Gelad Sher, and Robert Malley. Seeds used the personal meeting to ask tough questions about recent political events and think through potential strategies for peace in the future. The semi- Community Outreach nar also included a three-hour training course called Education Towards Democracy. Outreach initiatives are amplifying the voices of Seeds of Peace graduates and engaging hundreds of young people who cannot share in the summer camp program themselves. By welcoming these new Israelis and Arabs into the Seeds of Peace community, the Center for Coexistence is multiplying the program’s regional impact.

School Presentations At the initiative of Seeds of Peace alumni, the Center for Coexistence coordinates numerous school visits and presentations in Arab and Jewish schools. Presentation teams bravely address stereotypes and lessons from camp, offering themselves as living arguments for coexistence. The presentations are as powerful for the Seeds as they are for the youth audiences, tangibly demonstrating their ability to impact the younger generation.

Bring-A-Friend Bring-A-Friend events encourage Seeds to spread values of tolerance and dialogue among Negotiators from left to right: Robert Malley their close friends. Seeds host their friends at the Center for Coexistence, where they (American), Sa'eb Erekat (Palestinian), and encounter other Seeds and their friends for a dialogue experience with the “other side” thus Gilad Sher (Israeli). widening the circle of open communication.

Rakia Project the An initiative of two Israeli Seeds from 2004, the Rakia Project brings together 100 third graders every month from neighboring Jewish and Bedouin villages. The children participate olive in art projects and other activities inspired by the Seeds of Peace program. In recognition of its success forging friendships between Jewish and Arab children, the Rakia Project received branch a merit certificate from the Israeli Ministry of Education. Refugee Program On April 15, 2005, Seeds of Peace held its first-ever workshop in the Jenin Refugee Camp for 25 refugee children that also included an English language course to improve the English skills in teenagers selected to attend the summer camp program.

In July, Palestinian Seeds ran a three-day program for 65 children from the Shu’fat Refugee Camp, which included games, hands-on activities, and a visit to the Center in Jerusalem. Leena, a Palestinian Seed who helped organize this event, said: “These three days are some of the best days of my work at Seeds of Peace. Now I see how my Seeds work comes together to make one picture. The Shu’fat Refugee Camp has now invited the Seeds of Peace family back to honor us and the work we have done.”

Treaties are negotiated by governments. Peace is made by people. Seeds of Peace is doing what no government can.

It is sowing the seeds of peace among the next generation of leaders. It is educating them to develop empathy, respect and confidence. It is equipping them with communication and negotiation skills. It is enabling them to see the human face of their enemies.

By empowering them to emerge as tomorrow's leaders, Seeds of Peace is working to forge the personal relations so critical to peacemaking and reconciliation.
