Hello All. On April 6th 2008 I'm going to run the Paris Marathon and at the same time hope to raise some money for Windows for Peace. Have a look at the websites below for info on the work that they do.
"Our main goal is to restore hope in the hearts of children and young people" - Rutie Atsmon, director of Windows for Communication.
Windows for Communication was established in 1991. Members are Jews and Palestinians from both sides of the Green Line (in Israel and the occupied territories). It runs programmes to build communication and trust through educational and cultural programmes, media and art, especially between Jewish and Arab children. Since 1995 the programme has included a regular children’s magazine, written and edited by children on both sides of the divide:

Windows for Peace UK has been set up to support Windows for Communication and to promote dialogue between Palestinians, Arabs, Jews and Muslims in the UK:

(All expenses incurred will of course be covered by myself ensuring that all of your donation goes directly to Windows for Peace).
Thanks Everyone! Jason
