I am a 24 years old Palestinian girl, I live in the middle east in
one of the most complicated spots in the world, it is not uncommon
to find people who will be searching for peace there as the
situation gets harder and harder, in the first place we are humans,
and peace is a natural desire inside our hearts even if we live in
the most heated area on earth.
I always had the mind of peace, I never found in violence any kind
of solution, and always hoped that people would find their way
through peace and love, compromising might heart but on the long
run it could bring us the desired outcomes to live in peace.
My real work for peace has started when I met with Israelis, other
than soldiers, after talking with them and building good relations
with them I knew that other people from my side have to be
introduced to the human side of Israelis not only the occupation,
so the idea of making peace and living together will become
desirable for them away from occupation.
Networking presented a major tool for me that helped me to meet
with many friends and activists to work and cooperate with in the
field of peace making, in addition to richening my life with a
diversity of good relations which opened the door for a new spirit
to enter my heart. the first network which played a big role in
bringing all this to me is mepeace.org which now I am a partner in
developing it to make it a real tool for peace and peacemaking in
the area.
Thank you iPeace and the team that is standing behind it for your
important work that you do for the sake of peace, love and Harmony
in the world.
