2012 Projects for Peace The Vision of Kathryn W. Davis Projects for Peace Internationalist Kathryn W. Davis turned 100 years old, then 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, and now 106, challenging today’s generation of college students to undertake “Projects for Peace.” She said to the students: Come forward with your ideas, shape them into actionable projects, and I’ll give you the resources to do your projects. Students heard the call and responded to the challenge, and this volume portrays what unfolded in the summer of 2012 as a result. They demonstrated that today’s youth—tomorrow’s leaders—want to be engaged, want to make a difference. The students’ projects took place in many different places around the world, but all of them were built on person-to-person relationships, the role of leadership, and finding ways to improve the human condition in the quest for peace. Kathryn Davis is a leader, leading others as she invests in “preparing for peace.”

Davis United World College Scholars Program Funded by Gale and Shelby Davis, the program is a major philanthropic force in promoting international understanding. Currently, Davis philanthropy partners with 90 colleges and universities to internationalize the American undergraduate experience through scholarships awarded to nearly 2,500 students. These globally minded scholars are from the U.S. and 145 other countries, and have proven themselves while completing their last two years of high school at one of 12 United World College schools located in Bosnia, Canada, Costa Rica, Hong Kong, India, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Singapore, Swaziland, the United States, and Wales. Since its inception in 2000, the Davis UWC Scholars Program has become the world’s largest privately funded international scholarship program for undergraduate education.

“A peaceful community is one in which all members feel respected and empowered, and conflict can be solved from a basis of mutual appreciation. Peace is the idea that we can put aside our differences and contribute to something that truly defines the human experience, something universal.”

5 6 Introduction

his volume reports on the sixth year of Projects for Peace, an initiative inspired and funded by Tphilanthropist Kathryn W. Davis and designed and directed by veteran international educator Philip O. Geier. The projects recounted here are a powerful testimony to the vision and conviction of a person now 106 years young. Kathryn Davis has a clear purpose and strong sense of urgency about finding new pathways to peace in the 21st century. Without her, there would be no Projects for Peace. The first projects took place in 2007, funded by Kathryn in celebration of her 100th birthday that year. Kathryn has renewed her generous support each year since and, because of her, there have been nearly 700 projects carried out in more than 100 countries during the past six years. Inspired by her leadership and example, other philanthropists and college presidents have joined in to make still other projects possible. As an illustration of other philanthropists following Kathryn’s example, we are pleased to feature the renewed generosity of Pete Colhoun and the Colhoun Family Fund on page 13 of this volume. In these pages you will find highlights of the sixth round of projects, which took place during the summer of 2012. They capture the innovation, energy, and effort of young people motivated by Kathryn’s inspiration and generosity to build stepping stones to peace in the world.

“My many years have taught me that there will always be conflict. It’s part of human nature. But I’ll remind you that love, kindness, and support are also part of human nature. My challenge to you is to bring about a mind-set of preparing for peace, instead of preparing for war.”

We dedicate this volume in memory of the Very Reverend James R. Leo, who understood a higher calling, spent his life in service to humanity, and shared Kathryn Davis’ aspirations for peace on earth.

7 8 Kathryn Davis: Visionary for Peace

By Philip O. Geier, Executive Director, Davis United World College Scholars Program

The Power and Wisdom of 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, and Now 106 n August 2006, Kathryn Wasserman Davis made a momentous decision. She Iwould be turning 100 years old in 2007, and she was feeling a great sense of urgency. Urgency about an elusive goal in her long life: peace in the world. As she reflected on the many years of her life, she felt frustrated that her generation and those that followed had failed in that great quest. What might she do, Kathryn wondered? She decided it was time to see what fresh and motivated young minds might do about this perplexing issue. She decided to use her remaining years to unleash the potential of youth in the quest for peace. How to do that? She had been watching with interest a program her son Shelby had started with his own philanthropy in 2000: the Davis United World College Scholars Program, which had grown into the world’s largest international scholarship program for undergraduates. Kathryn had met many of these United World College graduates as they had become Davis United World College Scholars matriculating at 90 American colleges and universities—including her alma mater, Wellesley, and Princeton, where both her late husband and her son had earned their undergraduate degrees. Given the impressive scope of colleges and universities in her son’s program, it occurred to Kathryn that these would be accessible and dependable places for her to try out her idea of Projects for Peace.

9 With enthusiasm, Kathryn put up an initial $1 million and issued her challenge to any and all students on these campuses— and now to others at International Houses worldwide, Future Generations, and the Geneva Institute—to design and go do whatever projects they felt would contribute to peace and a better world. Kathryn was so gratified by the students’ projects in 2007 that she has continued her support for subsequent rounds of projects in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012. This volume reports on the 2012 projects and demonstrates how Kathryn’s vision has motivated young people and how those young people have drawn inspiration from Kathryn.

A Visionary for Peace Kathryn Davis has been a lifelong internationalist. She discovered her passion for global engagement on her first trip to Russia in 1929. Shortly after graduating from college, she was traveling with a group through the Caucasus Mountains on horseback, and their horses were stolen. As Kathryn recalls it, “We ate wild berries for breakfast and spit-roasted mountain goat for dinner, and I couldn’t have been happier.” She went on to Geneva where she earned her doctorate and wrote a timely study, “The Soviets at Geneva,” about the League of Nations, forerunner to today’s United Nations, which was headquartered in Geneva. Kathryn has returned to Russia more than 30 times since and has become well known to the leaders of that country through its tumultuous recent history. She celebrated her 95th birthday with its former president, Mikhail Gorbachev. Kathryn is also a lifelong philanthropist, supporting education, the arts, scientific and medical research, the environment and conservation, and various forms of international relations. She has left her mark on a wide range of institutions and countless students.

10 At her alma mater, Wellesley College, she has been supportive of numerous projects including financial aid for students, global education initiatives, professorships in Russian economics, Slavic studies, Asian studies, and history. Wellesley’s Davis Museum and Cultural Center is named for her and her late husband, Shelby Cullom Davis, as is the International Center at Princeton. Kathryn has been recognized for her achievements in many significant ways. In 2007, she was given the Woodrow Wilson Award for Public Service at a ceremony in Washington, D.C. This honor was bestowed on her for having “shown a special commitment to seeking out informed and thoughtful views” and for having devoted herself “to examining the historical background and long-term implications of important policy issues.” In her acceptance speech, Kathryn addressed those she called “movers and shakers of the world” this way: “My many years have taught me that there will always be conflict. It’s part of human nature. But I’ll remind you that love, kindness, and support are also part of human nature. My challenge to you is to bring about a mind-set of preparing for peace, instead of preparing for war. We don’t know what tomorrow holds, and therefore let us take advantage of today to be as useful as possible.”

Continuous Innovation For all her achievements, Kathryn was not content to rest on her laurels. Instead, she has wanted to do more, and not just more of the same. The wisdom of her years has led her to look to young people for new ideas and fresh energy to improve the prospects for peace. She recalled her own adventuresome youth and what it had motivated her to do since. She reflected on her own unrelenting curiosity, her desire to keep learning, engaging, participating, shaping. She realized that she had always been eager to do things

11 she (or her parents) had never done before. She also realized that she had been fortunate enough to have those opportunities. She concluded that amidst today’s youth there must certainly be those with her kind of motivations and inclinations. They only need be given the opportunity. It would be a bargain at any price if she could set in motion steps toward a more peaceful world. Kathryn made up her mind to establish Projects for Peace when she turned 100 and has renewed her commitment every year since, saying: “I want to use my birthday to once again help young people launch some initiatives that will bring new energy and ideas to the prospects of peace in the world.”

The Process Projects for Peace is administered through the office of the Davis United World College Scholars Program, headquartered at Middlebury College. Over the past academic year, competitions were held and selections of projects were made on the many American college and university campuses already part of the Davis United World College Scholars Program, as well as through special arrangements with the worldwide International Houses, Future Generations, and the Graduate Institute in Geneva, Switzerland, where Kathryn had earned her doctorate. To make this as inclusive as possible, all students on these campuses were invited to design their own grassroots Projects for Peace, which they themselves, if their proposals were among the winners selected, would implement anywhere in the world during the summer of 2012. Each of the winning projects was awarded $10,000 from Kathryn’s philanthropy, though each project’s total budget could expand as enterprising students might raise other funds or partner with existing initiatives or organizations.

12 Students were invited to give their own definitions of what a Project for Peace should mean. The idea was to spark the students’ own imaginations and to see what fresh thinking might come forth. Kathryn wanted to continue to encourage creativity, innovation, and social entrepreneurship. She expected projects would span the globe, that they could take place anywhere, including the U.S. And they did—see the listing and map of all the projects to date at the end of this volume. Each of the participating institutions was free to promote the competition among its own students and design its own evaluation process for selecting the most compelling proposals. The idea was to push down the decision making to the campus level, making it more empowering and engaging for each educational community. Some college presidents and other philanthropists (see page 13) became so captivated by the idea and potential value of this initiative that they ended up funding additional projects beyond what Kathryn’s philanthropy made possible. This year, thousands of student proposals were written, across the nation and around the world. The impact on campuses was inspiring. As one college official reports, “This opportunity and the proposal development process have produced a wonderful, exciting buzz on campus and among our students.” Kathryn’s vision and spirit took root in 2007 and the momentum and participation have expanded every year since. The winning proposals for 2012 were announced in the spring, and then it was up to the students to do their projects during that summer—demanding focus, engagement, commitment, and a high degree of personal responsibility. This volume illustrates the results of those Projects for Peace undertaken in 2012.

13 14 Colhoun Family Fund Once Again Follows Kathryn Davis Lead

oward P. “Pete” Colhoun, patriarch of the Colhoun Family Fund, was Hintrigued to read about Projects for Peace in a newsletter he received “I am thrilled to be a few years ago from his alma mater, Princeton University. Pete already joining Kathryn Davis knew about Shelby Davis’ United World College Scholars Program since its in supporting Projects for inception at Princeton a decade earlier, and he became captivated by Kathryn’s Peace, and hope others with similar interests will vision—as she turned 100 years old — of challenging today’s students to find join in leveraging her new pathways to peace in the 21st century. investment to even Pete and some of his family members even made a special trip to meet greater heights.” Kathryn at her summer home on Mount Desert Island in Maine. That visit Pete Colhoun only increased Pete’s enthusiasm for Kathryn’s initiative, and he decided to join Kathryn in underwriting additional Projects for Peace. Other Colhoun family members did likewise. The Colhoun family has made it possible for additional projects to be undertaken by students at Princeton, Amherst, Bates, Colby, and Middlebury. These additional projects have spanned the globe, including in Sierra Leone, Italy, Nepal, Guatemala, Germany, Zambia, Afghanistan, Turkey, Kenya, and the U.S.

Other philanthropists who share Kathryn’s vision and want to join Pete Colhoun and the Colhoun Family Fund in increasing the number of Projects for Peace at colleges or universities of interest to them are most welcome to contact Phil Geier at [email protected].

15 The Projects

16 The Projects As these projects demonstrate, today’s youth—

tomorrow’s leaders—are engaged and want to make a

difference. They see the need to build a foundation for

peace out of many different building blocks. They see

that peace is more than the absence of war. They see

that peace takes focus, persistence, cultural sensitivity,

and plain hard work. And they are inspired by the vision

and generosity of Kathryn Davis.

On the following pages are brief sketches of a

cross section of the projects, informed by student

reports and photographs. A complete list of the

projects, participants, schools, and the countries

where the projects took place can be found at the

back of this volume.

Through these projects, many small yet meaningful

steps have been taken toward “preparing for peace.”

17 “Peace is like a tall, formidable forest that starts with a few seedlings and grows. Exposure and cultural exchange are how we spread the seedlings of peace.” Jeffrey Reppucci, College of the Holy Cross

18 Playing for Peace Jeffrey Reppucci is a Russian major who studied in Moscow Russia Jeffrey Reppucci one summer and returned the next with a dream and a Davis College of the Holy Cross Projects for Peace grant. Struck by the relatively grim nature of childhood in Russia and statistics of growing alcohol abuse among young children, Jeffrey proposed to return to Russia and introduce the ideas of wellness and community building through sports. He went to Suzdal, a historic town east of Moscow, carrying with him 64 pounds of athletic equipment and a goal to build a recreational complex and introduce programs to benefit the more than 500 children at the local elementary school. Over the course of the summer, Jeffrey worked with students and teachers and built a multipurpose sports court and a half-size soccer field. He ran a sports camp for children and introduced an alcohol-abuse awareness campaign. He lived with a local family and met with the school principal every day. He spent hours talking with the children about life in America and his hockey team at Holy Cross. The principal was amazed to hear that the problems he faces in school are similar to those facing schools in underserved areas of the United States. The children and adults in Suzdal embraced the new facilities and the new programs and are dedicated to making them permanent parts of the curriculum. Jeffrey is in regular contact with the school and hears of the positive impact of his work. He has created a nonprofit organization, Students Helping Children Across Borders, Inc., devoted to promoting similar projects, starting with a community play- ground initiative in Worcester, Massachusetts, the home of College of the Holy Cross.

19 “At the end, we left a water-harvesting system in place in the community, but I took much more. I took with me a well of experiences, ideas, thoughts, and questions that will serve me well in times of drought to come.” Adrian Fernandez Jauregui, College of the Atlantic

20 Harvesting Rain The indigenous people of the Guarani communities of Alto Bolivia Adrian Fernandez Jauregui Parapeti Capitania, Bolivia only recently emerged from near College of the Atlantic slavery and are working hard to build their own communities. Among the many challenges they face are rainy seasons that bring mass flooding followed by long periods of serious drought. Adrian Fernandez sought to help address this problem by using his Davis Project for Peace grant to construct a rainwater-harvesting system in the community of Itacuatia. Working with volunteers, community representatives, and some paid laborers, Adrian designed and built a 45,000-liter ferro-cement water tank that gathers over 45,000 gallons of rainwater each year to be used for basic needs of drinking, cooking, and sanitation for 200 children in the local school and some of the nearby community. The water-tank technology is designed to last for more than a decade, providing stability and confidence in safe water collection. Adrian learned valuable community-development lessons through his project, and wrote, “Patience and bargaining skills served me well from the first day until the end of the project.” He learned that designing a project from afar is sometimes vastly easier than implementing the project on the ground, and that the role of an “outsider” in a community can be complex. Still, the project succeeded. Clean water will be available during the next dry season, and the community has a model for building additional water tanks.

21 “This summer, I understood the power of what it means to be one of, as well as one among, seven billion people. We are on this planet together, our problems are shared, and our solutions must, therefore, also be shared. We simply must find ways to work together; it is not easy, but it is possible and worth the work.” Maliha Ali, Bennington College

22 Kuch Karo Community Action Workshop and Library Restoration Maliha returned to her native Pakistan last summer with a goal Pakistan Maliha Ali to teach local high-school students how to take action in their Bennington College community. She developed a curriculum to engage with 16 students for three weeks of daily four-hour sessions of role playing, debate, teamwork-building exercises, research, and writing, all aimed at encouraging participants to develop critical-thinking skills and to learn how to apply these skills to problem solving in the community. Maliha introduced to her students the idea of libraries as outstanding resources, thus leading into the second part of her project-—the restoration of the Sehba Akhtar Library, an unused and neglected public library in Karachi. Maliha and a group of volunteers, the “Core Team”, worked with the students to repair and restore the library. They painted, plumbed, created signage, and arranged spaces. In addition, they catalogued and shelved over 2,000 books. By the end of the restoration project, local officials were so impressed that they donated nine computers and hired an experienced librarian. The end result was the transfor- mation of a space that will now be used in positive ways by the community, and a group of young people armed with the knowledge that positive change is possible, and that they can not only identify a problem, but also work together to come to a solution. The municipal government originally informed Maliha that the restoration work could not be authorized until she formed a nongovernmental organization. While time consuming and somewhat costly, this NGO now exists as a platform for future ventures, as Maliha intends to return home and replicate her very successful project with other high-school students and other neglected public spaces in Karachi.

23 “We believe that education is a process that generates a change in the minds of young people and prepares them to be responsible leaders of tomorrow.” Joy Minalla, Macalester College

24 Rebuilding the Ruins and Promoting Peace The young nation of South Sudan is burdened by extreme South Sudan poverty and multiple challenges resulting from decades of Nyoma Clement Talata Evers violence and war. Nyoma, Talata, and Joy were once refugees Methodist University of war in the Sudan region. They returned to South Sudan this Joy Minalla Macalester College summer to help build peace through education. St. Joseph’s Secondary School serves 450 students with very limited resources. Nyoma, Talata, and Joy took on the job of renovating the unused school library. Working alongside student volunteers and school administrators, they repaired the roof, plastered walls and floors, built an outdoor study space, and stocked the shelves with textbooks and teachers’ guides. Once the library space was functional, the three students conducted workshops in study skills, leadership, and conflict resolution. They led teamwork and problem-solving exercises and gave seminars on the importance of women’s education. They firmly believe that only educated young people will have the tools necessary to rebuild the region and the will to peacefully coexist. With a new study space, new materials, and new skills, students at St. Joseph’s are much better equipped not only to face the future, but to shape it.

25 “While NEC taught me a lot about how to run a project in my home country, it taught me even more about myself and what it takes to make positive change happen.” Jihad Hajjouji, Middlebury College

26 The National Entrepreneurial Camp Recognizing that youth unemployment and limited opportuni- Morocco Jihad Hajjouji ties have great potential to threaten peace in Morocco, Jihad Middlebury College and Hafsa developed a curriculum for a summer camp for Hafsa Anouar young people, ages 16 to 19, aimed at teaching entrepreneurial Tufts University skills. Twenty-six participants representing 17 cities in Morocco were selected from an applicant pool of almost 300, and came together in the city of Safi for a series of day and evening classes in entrepreneurial skills with topics ranging from inward and outward thinking to developing market strategies and planning and finance. The camp culminated with an externally judged competition to identify the winning ideas. Jihad and Hafsa believe that far too often young people expect the perfect job opportunity to already exist. They sought to encourage the campers to become responsible for their own career and employment opportunities. The perfect job may be the one that they create for themselves. In partnership with the sustainable development department at OCP, the Moroccan phosphate company, plans are underway to offer the camp on an annual basis so that many more young Moroccans can learn the tenets of entrepreneurship and discover paths toward peace and prosperity.

27 “We left the United States to teach Georgian students about peace; we returned having been taught an important lesson in generosity and love for friends and neighbors.” Noam Freshman, St. John’s College

28 Planting the Tree of Peace The goal of this project was to bring together high-school Republic of Georgia Elene Gvilia students affected by the decades-long Georgian-Abkhazian civil Bilsana Bibic war. Elene, Bilsana, and Noam traveled to Zugdidi, a small Noam Freshman town in northwest Georgia, and worked with 20 young people St. John’s College identified by the U.S. State Department’s “American Corner” as being highly motivated and representing both sides of the conflict. Students were engaged in seminar discussions based on the Socratic method. As a group, they read and debated Aeschylus’ Oresteia, and, at the end of the project, presented their own interpretation of the play. They studied conflict resolution and mediation techniques and practiced hands-on activities aimed at teaching them to act as peer mediators to defuse and help resolve problems. The students undertook a medical mission to the Abkhazian refugee camps in Zugdidi, practicing newly acquired, basic first-aid techniques and distributing medical kits to the refugees. Many of the students had never been to the camps, even though they have been in existence for more than 16 years. The culmination of the project was a political conference, facilitated by a branch of USAID, which included past and present political leaders, writers, teachers, refugees, war veter- ans, community organizers, and professionals in the world of conflict resolution, where the Georgian students could test their new skills and perspectives. As old tensions quickly arose and tempers flared, the students realized the value of the lessons they learned. As Elene, Bilsana, and Noam returned to the United States, the students they had taught applied for and received a grant to start a program of mentorship in the refugee camps.

29 “I have built a school playground that will ensure safe play for generations of children in Goles. But I have received even more—those children and time spent with them gave me back the childhood that was taken away from me by the war.” Ajla Karajko, Barnard College

30 Reconciliation through Play Ajla grew up during a time when it was not possible for children Bosnia and Herzegovina Ajla Karajko in her country to play safely. She used her Davis Projects for Barnard College Peace grant to build a school playground and recreational facilities to ensure that the current generation of children in the town of Goles can not only play safely, but that Muslim and Serbian children can come together for fun. Ajla chose the town of Goles because it was the town where her father grew up and it was completely devastated during the war. With the cooperation of the local government and school officials and the design help of an architect, Ajla oversaw the construction of a multipurpose sports mini playground, an area for outdoor ceremonies and activities, a swing area, and a park with footpaths. She worked with teachers to ensure that physical education will be a part of the curriculum and that reconciliation will be a goal of the use of the new facilities. She involved local media and organized an opening ceremony for the new outdoor spaces that was attended by all of the town’s children and most of the adults. While the school building is still very basic, the children can now play safely outside and take part in a physical-fitness program, and hopefully the joy of outdoor play will be a tool for resolution and reconciliation.

31 “After years of academic study, receiving the Davis Projects for Peace grant allowed me to apply my research to create change for the Haitian people through long-term water purification systems. Providing clean water for almost 300 people not only opened my eyes to the crushing poverty of Haiti, but also reinforced my belief that one person, working within their means and ability, truly can change the world.” Kenzie Haygood, International House, San Diego

32 Long-term Water Purification Motivated by the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights that calls Haiti Nicole “Kenzie” Haygood for every person to have the resources indispensable for true International House, San Diego development, Kenzie’s project was designed to reduce disease and high childhood mortality rates in Haiti by installing water filters in individual homes. Alleviating the water crisis in Haiti would not only bring health benefits but economic ones as well, as limited resources now used to obtain safe water could be redeployed for other more productive pursuits. Through this project, 29 households gained water filters and inhabitants were given in-depth training on the use, clean- ing, and maintenance of the filters so they can operate for their full 10-year life expectancy. The utilization of these filters has been shown to reduce E.coli by 95 percent and diarrheal diseases by 50 percent. And from a financial perspective, the cost of having safe water is cut from an estimated $90/month to only $10/month. As a result of this project, Kenzie is starting her own nonprofit to carry on the work of providing and install- ing water filters to homes in Haiti. Named “Elsie’s Hope”, this new organization will enlist American volunteers to install an additional 400 filters per year.

33 “The project has taught me that small individual efforts can change a neighborhood, a village, and several villages and ultimately change the world. It’s possible.”

Stanley Mwaura Nderitu, Future Generations Graduate School

34 Kuresoi Peace Project Ethnic polarization characterized by suspicion, stereotypes, Kenya Stanley Mwaura Nderitu tensions and fear has often escalated into violence in the district Future Generations Graduate School of Kuresoi, Kenya. Stanley sought to mitigate this violence through a project to promote peaceful coexistence between the elders and youth of the multiethnic community. Working in concert with local organizations and locating the project at a local school as a neutral site, Stanley brought polarized groups together to develop skills in nonviolent dispute resolution. The local school became a “peace center” as well as a resource center for training in information and communication technology. The project brought together representatives of three major and five minority ethnic groups from eight surrounding villages for training. They developed a community action plan and formed interethnic working groups to advance the objective of interdependence instead of violence. A cross section of elders and youth representing polarized ethnicities in their communities began a dialogue of peace while the school became an ongoing resource center. Stanley hopes his project will be replicated in neighboring villages and that the long-term outcome will result in communities resolving their conflicting viewpoints without resorting to violence. Personally, Stanley felt that this project enabled him to look at his own biases and change the ways he had viewed other ethnic communities around him.

35 “Every aspect of Youth Engagement for Somalis—from researching and writing the grant, to design- ing the curriculum, to recruiting participants, to personally leading each session—was an invaluable growing experience for me as an engaged citizen of the world.” Hannah McCain, Lewis & Clark College

36 Youth Engagement for Somalis (YES) Many communities across the United States are now home USA Hannah McCain to resettled refugees and their families from war-torn coun- Lewis & Clark College tries around the world. Youth Engagement for Somalis was a project designed to serve the daughters of Somali refugees in Portland, Maine. The idea was to run a summer program to build intercultural bridges between differing peoples and turn passive coexistence into a dynamic peace-promoting com- munity relationship. In partnership with the Somali Culture and Development Association, a highly respected local organiza- tion, Hannah was able to reach and convince Somali mothers that their daughters would benefit from a summer program of workshops on social justice and arts and crafts led by visiting artists, writers, and others in the broader community. The highlight for the girls was creating a large-scale peace mural that remains on display at the Mayo Street Art community center. For the non-Somali residents involved, relationships were built with Somali neighbors who before had seemed quite foreign and inaccessible. For Hannah, the project was an intense learning process, teaching her valuable lessons about designing and implementing youth programming as well as teaching her how to cultivate friendships and respect with those different from herself. She is gratified that her YES project will be adapted and carried on by the Somali Culture and Development Association.

37 “This experience exposed me to the complexities of conflict and the delicacy required in its proper mediation. I learned that conflict is local at its core, and that it is there where lasting solutions must be sought.”

Dana Douglas DePietro, International House, Berkeley

38 Finding Common Ground Dana’s goal was to promote dialogue and understanding Israel and Palestine between Palestinian and Israeli youth through a collective Dana Douglas DePietro International House, Berkeley exploration of shared cultural heritage. Archaeological field- work provided a unique opportunity for meaningful dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians because of the often conten- tious position it occupies in the sociopolitical arena. Because archaeological work is highly physical, cooperative, and goal oriented, it can foster camaraderie and the possibility of creat- ing meaningful and lasting relationships between individuals in the field. Dana’s project was carried out in three distinct phases and undertaken in collaboration with the Society for Humanitarian Archaeological Research and Exploration (SHARE), with the majority of the work at the historic city of Ashkelon and its excavations being carried out by Harvard University and the Leon Levy Foundation. The project’s first phase was an outreach effort to elemen- tary and high-school students and their teachers in the area. Bringing these students and teachers to the excavation site gave them a hands-on introduction to field methodology and the diversity of historical perspectives and periods revealed through archaeology. This was in stark contrast to the common perception on both sides that archaeology simply legitimized each side’s contemporary claims. The second phase involved college-aged Israelis and Palestinians living and working side by side at the site for three weeks, giving an in-depth insight into the interpretations of the past and their impact on the politics of the present. The third phase sought to build ties be- tween SHARE and other Israeli and Palestinian organizations in order to sustain the dialogue. This project gave over 100 Israeli, Palestinian, and American participants the tools to engage with the past, present, and one another.

39 “This project is a dream come true. This is because, all along my three years in college, I have always asked, ‘How much of what I am learning is actually applicable to the real world? When will I get to see what is actually on the ground?’ This project gave me a chance to do exactly that.”

Selamawit Gebremariam, Macalester College

40 Green Lake Water Project Good health is a critical and universal recipe for peace. Access Ethiopia Selamawit Gebremariam to safe water and utilizing water sanitation practices are inher- Macalester College ent to health. When people have access to safe water, a healthier and more productive community can flourish. These were the motivating assumptions behind Sela’s project in the Green Lake community of Ethiopia. Sela’s first plan was to build a well in the community’s clinic compound to provide a safe and reliable water source, but the rainy season made it impossible to trans- port and install the necessary equipment. She altered her plan to repair the existing but broken water line. Initial repairs proved inadequate as heavy rains damaged the line again as it crossed the local flooding river. Sela and the community concluded that the best solution would be to al- locate some of the remaining project funding to build a bridge in the dry season to carry the line over the river and protect it from future flooding. Beyond making further temporary repairs to the line so it could be immediately functional, they added more points on the line where the water could be accessed. Sela also realized that introducing water filters would eliminate remaining pollution for those taking water from the line and serve those who took their water directly from the river. To make the project sustainable, Sela conducted an extensive educational outreach program on sanitation and hygiene prac- tices, including presentations at community meetings, house visits and posters for display at the clinic, and distributing more water filters throughout the community.

41 “This project opened my eyes to the various stereotypes and prejudices Pakistanis have regarding gender and class, and at the same time delighted me to see how willing the youth were to challenge their preconceived notions. When the traditional music started, the students turned a blind eye to the divisions and saw each other as friends.” Fahad Rahman, International House, New York

42 Musical Harmony Fahad organized an eight-day intensive performance workshop Pakistan that involved 20 students from five different schools represent- Fahad Rahman International House, New York ing a wide range of socioeconomic classes in her native Paki- stan. Her goals were twofold: one, to reduce mutual biases and stereotypes that different classes and both genders hold about each other; two, to increase the students’ awareness of and appreciation for Pakistan’s traditional arts, music, and dance, while utilizing these art forms to teach critical thinking, debating, and communication skills. The workshop of nine boys and 11 girls began with a variety of icebreakers and fun group activities, followed by an introduction to different art forms such as painting and draw- ing, classical music and dance, and folk music and dance. The culminating exercise was to produce a cultural performance incorporating all the art forms introduced. The students suc- cessfully put on a show to a large audience in a popular per- formance space in Islamabad. The project gave students who do not traditionally interact the opportunity to come together and overcome their differences of class, gender, and ethnicity. Fahad meticulously documented all aspects of her project with the hopes that it might become a model for replication with other diverse student groups to help overcome society’s harm- ful biases.

43 “Davis Projects for Peace is the most valuable thing in my life so far, as I was able to initiate meaningful steps to foster economic and educational development in my war-affected village.”

Uddhav Sharma, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

44 Creating Sustainable Opportunities The rural village of Necha in northern Nepal is a region most Nepal Uddhav Sharma negatively affected by the civil war that ended in 2006. With Massachusetts Institute of Technology few opportunities in the village, many young people began to move away to seek opportunities in urban areas or abroad. Uddhav, a native of Necha, designed this project to foster sus- tainable and educational opportunities to rejuvenate life in his village. He planned an agricultural initiative through which cash crops would create local employment opportunities and gener- ate profits that would begin and carry on a computer education program at the local school. Uddhav began by holding meet- ings to bring together members of the village to discuss the idea and to form a management committee to take responsibil- ity for the project. This committee, including local and school leaders, drew up a formal agreement letter to launch and guide the project, starting with leasing land for the project near the center of the village and nearby the school so that it might serve as a model to all the villagers. In spite of this preparation, project implementation proved challenging, in part due to the monsoon season that inhibited transporting needed materials from elsewhere. Nonetheless, the project moved forward with the assistance of outside agricultural experts training local villagers in the planting of cash crops. Forty-five local volunteers planted chilies, onions, cauliflower, turmeric, and cabbage on the leased land. The management committee now has ongoing responsibility for oversight of the harvesting and marketing of the crops as well as controlling the remaining project funds and future profits. By initial agreement, the anticipated profits of $2,000 per year are to be used to begin and sustain computer education in the local school.

45 “I believe that peace can be achieved through education, and I see teachers as fundamental agents of change as educators of the future generation.” Arturo Romero Pereda, International House, New York

46 A Conflict Resolution Teacher-training Program Arturo is studying to become a teacher and is trained in conflict Lebanon Arturo Romero Pereda resolution. He feels strongly that teachers can have vast influ- International House, New York ence in their communities, and his project was directed at the teaching of conflict resolution techniques—not to students, but to their teachers in three different educational systems existent in Beirut right now: Lebanese teachers in schools for Lebanese students, Palestinian teachers in schools for Palestinian refugees, and Iraqi teachers in schools teaching Iraqi refugee children. Arturo worked with the WILL Association (“Working for Inclusion and Lifelong Learning”) in Beruit, and 13 teachers from the three systems were selected to take part in conflict resolu- tion workshops this summer as the first phase of this project. Teachers met and worked together in sessions that culminated in the awarding of certificates. The second phase of the project will continue throughout this academic year as Arturo mentors the workshop participants via the Internet, working on specific techniques the teachers can use in their own classrooms and communities.

47 “War always leaves its mark on a people, even if you have to look beneath the surface to see it. This project showed me how important trust is in healing these scars and allowing genuine peace to develop in a community.” Morgan Smallwood, University of North Carolina

48 Zenica Peace Alliance During the Balkan War of the 1990s, the Serbian, Bosnian, and Bosnia and Herzegovina Amna Baloch Croatian residents of Zenica were pitted against one another. Sarah Mohamed This project aimed to develop sustainable relationships of trust Morgan Smallwood in spite of lingering scars from the ethnic war. They brought University of North Carolina together 25 youth from the three distinct ethnic groups in a summer camp format led by 10 equally diverse college-age counselors. The program was structured around a mentor- participant relationship, projected to be the key ingredient to establishing trust among the differing ethnicities. It began with a weeklong orientation for the mentors, developing a tone of professionalism as well as fostering friendship and a shared vision for the intended curriculum. This proved successful in developing reliable, creative, and energetic leaders. The project organizers, in spite of their own limitations in language and cultural knowledge, made sure that the training, logistics, and curriculum were realized while empowering the mentor-counselors and ultimately engaging the broader com- munity. Field trips were a highlight, providing an atmosphere of togetherness while broadening the children’s viewpoints through visiting various historic and religious sites. A communi- ty service outing to an orphanage led to similar outcomes. On the final day, the organizers held an event to share the project with the broader community, and left with hopes that the suc- cess of the program would lead to its year-round adoption by a local nonprofit.

49 “Going into the prisons made me realize that people are people despite the unfortunate circumstances of their lives. We all respond to kindness and humanity. We all respond to music.”

Courtney Rubin, Yale University

50 Musical Healing in County Jails The premise of Benjamine and Courtney’s project was that USA Benjamine Liu music can be educational and inspirational for prisoners in Los Courtney Rubin Angeles County jails and can contribute to lower recidivism Yale University rates. They collaborated with two existing organizations: Street Symphony, a nonprofit that provides music to disenfranchised groups; and MERIT, an innovative incarceration program that provides inmates with classes in anger management, parenting, life skills, vocational training, job fairs, and other transitional programs. They also benefited from the participa- tion of Judge Rand Rubin of the Los Angeles Superior Court, who opened each of the 12 concerts in eight different county jails with the following message: “The judges want better for you…. We don’t want you stuck in the revolving door, in and out of the jails.” Bringing together classically trained violinists, harpists, violists, and cellists as well as percussionists, jazz musicians, and vocalists, the concerts brought live performances to both men and women inmates, reaching an estimated 3,000 L.A. County inmates. Deputies in these jails felt these concerts helped to improve relationships between them and the in- mates and further motivated some inmates to pursue edu- cation-based incarceration programs. And since the concerts were offered as a reward for inmates who were “incident free”, they gave further incentives for good behavior. The project organizers also collected data on the efficacy of education- based incarceration programs to help inform and guide future policy and program improvements.

51 “This project was a great learning experience for me. It increased my faith in youth and helped me understand their world. I realized that it is important to put ourselves in their shoes so we can understand them and we shouldn’t expect them to accommodate and understand our needs.”

Lina Hamdan, International House, New York

52 ARTiculating Peace ARTiculating Peace brought young people ages 15 through Jordan Lina Hamdan 17 from various Arab countries together in Jordan to share International House, New York their experiences of Arab Spring in their respective countries through creative art. The idea was to use community theater as a medium of expression—giving youth with no previous theater experience the opportunity to present their feelings in a performance setting. Facing many logistical challenges, this project was greatly aided by partnerships with many local orga- nizations including the Columbia Global Centers – Middle East, the Amman Theater Lab, and the All Jordan Youth Commission. While planning began three months in advance, the project’s fate was uncertain up to the last minute due to political events in various Arab countries, especially in Lebanon, Egypt, and Syria. With adaptation and flexibility, the project went ahead successfully for 14 young people from different countries, religions, ethnicities, backgrounds, and social classes. They learned to work together using forms of artistic expression to tell their own stories in positive and constructive ways. Though initially unplanned, the project became the subject of a docu- mentary film intended to be distributed to broader audiences in the participants’ countries of Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, and Tunisia.

53 “The Clean Water for Life project will continue to provide this Rwandan community with a close, clean water source for many years to come. I have learned that together we can change the world.”

Jessica McElroy, University of Florida

54 Clean Water for Life Jessica returned to Rwanda for the third time last summer, this Rwanda Jessica McElroy time with a Davis Projects for Peace grant aimed at bringing University of Florida clean water sources to a Twa community. The United Nations has described the Twa as the forgotten victims of the Rwandan war, marginalized by prejudice from all ethnic groups in their country and desperately poor. With no nearby water sources, community members were forced to walk hours each day for small quantities of often contaminated water. After surveying community members about their water usage, Jessica worked with volunteers to construct five 2,000-to-3,000-liter rainwater tanks and 50 household BioSand filters. The rainwater tanks store water in central locations and the filters provide safe drinking water to families by effectively purifying contaminated water. The tanks and the filters will have an impact on the lives of hundreds in the Twa community for years to come. Jessica complemented the construction projects with an education component that included household visits and instruction in safe water handling and good hygiene practices as well as a community mural painting project on the actual water tanks designed to depict safe water habits.
