I really enjoyed Sami Awad's video; his message is powerful indeed.

Our non violenec initiative,1% a peace army, is aconsciousness raising effort intending to simply remind folks of our power to reduce violence and suffering at home,school,neighborhood,workplace,city,town,country as we strive to be more present with one another.

In 2002 i travelled to Tell A Viv and east jerusalem to distribute 1% peacelets...the theme at the time was the old hasidic tale " Not until we look into the eyes of every man and every woman and see our brother and sister...only then will we see the light...all else is still darkness"

Thank you for inviting us to join your journey for peace and justice for the Palestinian people......
