RE: Seeds of Peace

The organization founded in 1993 by John Wallach is mainly dedicated to empowering young leaders from regions of conflict with leadership skills required to advance reconciliation and coexistence. The organization goal is to help Israeli, Palestinian and Egyptian teenagers, and it has expanded all troughs Asia. This summer camp created with various activities such as dialogue meetings, conferences, educational workshops, professional opportunities, and adult educators programs, are given to young teenagers to encourage them to develop respect, confidence, and many other skills. This organization has also helped worked in international affairs, politics, media, medicine, and media. It was basically design to bring countries that are facing problems to develop peacemaking and to build reconciliation among each other, and to start with this they have to start from the roots of their culture which are the children.

With the existence of many issues on today’s society this program has given an opportunity to young leaders to build a character in leadership. Many organizations and communities who have heard of this program have join them and decided to create a safe and educational environment for people. The USAID from American people, which is an organization similar to seeds of peace as generously assist them by helping them to create camps operations as well as international programs, without their help and many other agencies the seeds of peace would not be able to expand. As well as the USAID the Tall Brothers Inc, the nation greatest builders of luxury homes in America as taken part and contributed to the growth of the organization.

  

Volunteering for the peace of seeds is essential in order for the organization to keep helping people. There are several ways people volunteer and make this enormous agency expand as much as possible. Raising funds and being creative with all this has help to support them, an gave them a reason to keep running and expanding when they see all people who has helped and sign in. As well as volunteering there exist a internships program committed to provide students and professionals new to the non-profit sector with opportunities to develop skills, gain experience, and work with  the staff on meaningful projects.

Some of the characteristics that this organization has are that they raise awareness on social and political issues.
