“Peace and reconciliation can’t be negotiated or legislated; it must be painstakingly developed

through changes in behavior and attitude. That is why Seeds of Peace is so important.”

A Message From President Aaron David Miller

Dear Friends:

This has been a difficult but productive year for Seeds of Peace. Recent developments on the Israeli-Palestinian front have created some hope that the situation will improve in the coming year. In any event, thework that we do will continue to be of critical importance. Regardless of whether political agreements arereached in the next several years, peacemaking is a generational proposition. In essence, it depends on thetransformation of attitudes of individuals and the creation of trust between them. Peace and reconciliationcan’t be negotiated or legislated; it must be painstakingly developed through changes in behavior and atti-tude. That is why Seeds of Peace is so important.

As we carry on our mission in the next year, several key issues define our agenda.

First, the absolute necessity of regionalizing our programming. The miracle in the Maine woods isa remarkable one; but unless it is reinforced, in large part, in the actual conflict areas, it will remain“miraculous” and not become a routine part of these young leaders’ lives. The key to Seeds ofPeace’s success, pure and simple, is follow-up. Indeed, the philosophy that Seeds of Peace embod-ies must survive in the harsh political and security realities where these young people live. Thismeans in part working unilaterally with our graduates within their own communities as well asbringing them together. Our Seeds must gain respect and legitimacy in their communities. Thismeans involving them in school presentations, community service projects, and expanding ourreach to parents, siblings and friends.

Second, we must also concentrate more on our older graduates, those Seeds who are 18 throughtheir mid 20’s. After all, it is this group – farthest removed from the memories of the initial campexperience – that are most at risk and yet present the greatest potential as they get off on theircareer paths. Creating opportunities for them including internships, seminars, work study programsand, above all, helping them find good jobs in their own societies, rather than abroad, is critical toour success.

Third, we must place a much greater emphasis than we have in the past on evaluating our programs –not only with the objective of demonstrating their viability, but learning how those programs can beimproved. By the spring of 2005 we will have available the results of a study conducted by a high-ly respected research and evaluation firm which is now engaged in surveying 10 years of Seedsgraduates. Those results and the reunion we have scheduled for 2005 in Maine for over one hundred of our 1993-1998 Seeds should provide a clear sense of direction for the future.

Finally, let me take this opportunity to thank my colleagues at Seeds, the board of directors, and all of oursupporters for the time, effort, and resources that you have put into making our work such a success. Wecould not have accomplished what we have without you.

Best Regards,

Aaron David MillerPresident, Seeds of Peace

Dialogue Sessions

The Middle East Dialogue Sessions rose tonew levels this summer as larger delegationsthan ever of Palestinians from the West Bankand Jerusalem, Egyptians, Jordanians,Moroccans, Tunisians and Qataris, joinedSeeds of Peace. With the continuingIntifada, their participation with a diverseIsraeli delegation made the Middle East pro-gram challenging and intense. Borders, reli-gion and the media are just some of the topicsthat emerged during the daily 90-minuteprofessionally-facilitated Dialogue Sessionsthat are at the core of the program. Here, themost painful and divisive issues of their con-flict are discussed, challenging inherentprejudices with real stories and experiencesexpressed by their peers. Yet, as always, inless than one month, these young ambassa-dors from the Middle East, South Asia andCyprus accomplished what their govern-ments have struggled with for decades – howto communicate, negotiate, empathize, andabove all, respect one another as individuals.

Seeds of Peace enhanced its dialogue pro-gram this year by increasing the number ofArab and Israeli facilitators. These profes-sionals, working together and coming direct-ly from the Middle East, not only were ableto discuss the most recent issues with in-depth knowledge, but served as significantrole models for the Seeds. In addition, theyhave been incorporated back into theAdvanced Dialogue program at the Center inJerusalem which creates an enriched part-nership and cooperation between the Seedsand the facilitators.

Group Challenge

Like the Dialogue Sessions, Group Challange is a crit-ical component of the summer program. Through phys-ical and psychological challenges that reinforce trust,cooperation and communication, bonds form betweenparticipants within dialogue groups who must dependon themselves and each other to navigate high ropes,scale climbing walls and tackle obstacle courses.Group Challenge complements camp life and is a flex-ible program that is continuously reevaluated andadjusted to meet the needs of the teens as they evolvethrough their dialogue sessions.

Take this example: After an argument in their DialogueSession, Daniel, an Israeli, and Ahmed, a Palestinian,were asked to tackle the “Pirate’s Crossing.” Told to

begin on opposite ends of a thin wire suspended 25 feet in the air, Daniel and Ahmed had towork their way towards each other and cross paths, a difficult challenge which requires hold-ing on to each other and trusting each other to find a way that would keep them from falling.Challenging their own emotional and physical fears together, Daniel and Ahmed succeededand found their relationship had transformed, giving them new respect for one another.

Seeds of Peace held its twelfth summer season in 2004 and welcomed 483 future lead-ers to the woods in Otisfield, Maine. Over three sessions, close to 300 Arab and IsraeliSeeds from the Middle East participated in the Seeds of Peace International Camp. Thepilot program Beyond Borders brought new delegations from Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Kuwaitwho joined youngsters from Egypt, Jordan and Yemen in a groundbreaking session withteens from six American cities (see page 9). The 42 South Asian Seeds from India,Pakistan, and Afghanistan as well as the 24 Seeds from divided Cyprus and the domesticMaine Seeds program also experienced the transformation that the Seeds of Peace programprovides. Each Seed returned home energized by what they learned and ready to continuespreading that message to their family, friends and community.

Washington DCThe 2004 International Camp culminated as it has done in the past with a visit toWashington, DC which helped fuel both governmental support and campers’ commitment.The program in Washington emboldens the efforts of the Seeds with the proof that worldleaders are listening, and moreover, believe in their ability to make a difference.

This summer, campers met with CondoleezzaRice at the White House, and Colin Powell atthe Department of State. Secretary Powell, asalways, offered words of encouragement to theteens and high praise for the program. “Itsounds so simple and sounds so possible, andit is, all of the young people who make upSeeds of Peace are living proof that people canchange, that peace is possible, that attitudescan be changed. All of you are examples forothers to follow.” In 2004, Seeds visited theoffices of many Senators and Representativeson Capitol Hill. These small group sessions allowed the Seeds to see and learn more aboutCongress and most importantly, have a private and personal discussion with government decision-makers.

Sports & Recreational Activities

Coexistence is not just what happens inDialogue Sessions and Group Challenge; itoccurs daily at Seeds of Peace through activ-ities that are as typical as they are ground-breaking. Ordinary scenes – a game of catch,dining hall cheers, late night talks – becomeextraordinary when the exchanges arebetween Israelis and Palestinians, Indiansand Pakistanis. Sports teach the values ofteamwork, respect, and leadership – conceptsat the very foundation of the Seeds of Peaceprogram. Similarly, arts and drama allow forcreative expression as campers work togetherto create sculptures, drawings, songs andplays that reflect their shared experience.

The culminating event at the end of everysession is Color Games, the camp“Olympics.” During this time, the camp isdivided into two multi-national teams (Blueand Green) that compete in intense competi-tion encouraging a cooperative spirit thatrises above the traditional ethnic and nation-al divides. Color Games as such, is an impor-tant way for friendships to be cemented andalso serves as an important learning experi-ence about personal and group identity.

Graduate Program

Seeds of Peace’s older alumni (years 1993-1999) who have graduated high school andin some cases have completed their Israeliarmy service or university, are the fastestgrowing population in the Seeds of Peacecommunity. Each year this group expandsand seeks programming geared towardsmature young adults. In 2004, Seeds ofPeace met this demand by developing chal-lenging and stimulating programs to helpthese young adults become true leaders intheir societies, and their student or profes-sional lives.

As part of the Graduate Program, older alum-ni were empowered to create programmingfor Seeds of Peace to provide its graduates.Four seminars took place during the year,which included uninational as well as bi-national discussions on the future of Seedsof Peace and the implementation of thatvision. One such seminar, Shaping theVision, was held in May in Cyprus reuniting30 Israeli, Palestinian, Jordanian andEgyptian Seeds from years 1998 or earlier.Here, they discussed their continued com-mitment to advancing coexistence in theirregions, how they can most effectively carryout that commitment, and their expandingrole as participatory components of Seeds ofPeace. Said Jordanian Seed Sami afterreuniting with old friends, “Each person’saccomplishments were amazing, but there isone thing that has not changed in these pastyears: the belief in peace. Through theirexperiences, each has developed his/herunique vision of how that peace should beand how it’s supposed to be accomplished,

but what did not waiver was the overall con-sensus that violence would lead nowhere.”

In an effort to solidify Seeds of Peace’sGraduate Programming, a group of 22 grad-uates from 1993-1998 completed a 90-hourdiploma course in mediation and a 24-hourcourse on identifying and dealing with diffi-cult conversations. Some of these Seeds nowserve as the foundation for programmingbeing led by the Graduate Seeds as a whole.

Advanced Dialogue

The Advanced Dialogue program continuedthis year through three groups which met asregularly as possible to continue the discus-sions begun at camp. Part of the AdvancedDialogue program includes the annualCoexistence Marathon which was held overthe New Year. This year, 160 Israeli andPalestinian Seeds were engaged for two daysin intense dialogue sessions, planning com-munity projects, and teaching each otherArabic and Hebrew. Older Seeds from 2001,acting as program interns, led the groups andacted as counselors for the newer Seeds.Said Israeli Seed Yaniv, “Seeds of Peace’sregional program has expanded and thisMarathon was the living proof of it. TheMarathon, despite its intensity, was beyondgreat. It raised a number of difficult issuesthat we need to struggle with to make Seedsof Peace as great as it can be.” Building offthe momentum of the Marathon, the regularDialogue Sessions that followed allowedgroups to delve into some of the hardest andmost painful issues of the conflict honestlyas they exposed and examined each point inan attempt to move forward.

Seeds of Peace made great strides in2004 in follow-up programmingthrough the Center in Jerusalemwhich has operated successfully forsix years. This year, Seeds of Peacebuilt on the strong foundation of thepast but made notable changesdesigned to strengthen the voice ofthe Seeds at all levels as well asSeeds of Peace as an organization.Significant changes included engag-ing more Seeds in developing theregional programs themselves as theyare best able to decide what is mean-ingful to them. Additionally, program-ming was organized closer to theSeeds’ homes to avoid logistical chal-lenges such as check points and bor-der closings when bringing peopletogether. In 2004 and moving into2005, the Center is working to have alocal presence and staff not only inJerusalem but also in northern Israel,Ramallah, Haifa, Tel Aviv, Ammanand Cairo.

Seeds of Peace is now positioned tooffer programming for Seeds follow-ing their camp experience throughtheir young adult years as well asoffering programs for others includingthe Delegation Leaders and theSeeds’ friends and parents. Againstthe backdrop of Israeli-Palestinianconfrontation, violence and terror,Seeds graduates, now over 2,500, areemerging into young adults; Seeds ofPeace has adapted and grown alongwith them so that it can continue tooffer programming that gives theSeeds the tools and experiences totruly make a difference.

Community Outreach

Leading a new generation away from violence toward dialogue and understanding extends wellbeyond the Seeds alumni. Extensive outreach to the family, friends, and communities of theSeeds has become increasingly more important to Center programs. Consequently, Seeds arereaching hundreds of Arabs and Israelis – friends, family, teachers and classmates – with theirmessages of coexistence and tolerance, multiplying the regional impact of Seeds of Peace.

In 2004, significant effort was placed on developing The Summer of Service, a programencouraging community volunteerism. Through the program, a group of Palestinian Seeds vis-ited and provided assistance to hospitalized children and their parents in the orthopedic wardof Augusta Victoria Hospital in East Jerusalem, and a group of Israeli Seeds planned andimplemented a communications project with orthodox and secular Jewish youth.

School presentations provide yet another way to increase Seeds of Peace’s outreach. This year,Israeli and Palestinian Seeds showed tremendous courage in standing together and explain-ing the Seeds of Peace experience to skeptical but interested peers. They answered class-mates’ questions with poise, confidence, and competence that increased with each presen-tation. Said Tala, a Palestinian, about her experience presenting at an Israeli school, “Thiswas one of the most remarkable experiences in my life. It was the first time I had ever enteredan Israeli school and it was very different from mine…What we wanted to do was to make thestudents realize that everything is possible and something can happen to alter the situationthat we are living in and experiencing every day. If we are willing to carry this message to allthe people in this country, then maybe a solution will be found and maybe this conflict willat last come to an end.”

Parent Program

Not only are the Seeds continuing their dia-logue at home, but they have persuaded theirparents to do the same. In 2003, Seeds ofPeace launched a program for Seeds parentsand meetings began in both Haifa andJerusalem. These parent meetings continuedmonthly in 2004 and a new Jerusalem par-ent group was added which met fives timesduring the year. Just like their children, theparents wrapped up their sessions with a“Parent Coexistence Marathon” to strength-en the interpersonal relationships insideeach group, continue their dialogue ingreater depth, and to receive additional inputby an outside lecturer on negotiation.

Incredible stories emerged from the parentmeetings. Last spring, a Palestinian familyfrom Jerusalem hosted a cultural dinner anddiscussion in their home. For a group ofIsraeli and Palestinian parents to gathertogether socially in a Palestinian neighbor-hood is a rare sight but the strength of therelationships built between the parents inthis group made it possible. Said one Israeliparent of her experience, “Since we formedour group and have discussed the more sen-sitive and explosive questions and dilemmas,our friendships have strengthened. I feel thatthe more I hear and argue about the con-flicting subjects that brought our people,Arabs and Jews, to sad and difficult times,the more anxious I am to meet my newfriends again and continue our talk.”

Egypt/JordanIn 2004, as Seeds of Peace continued to grow, it expanded programming in Egypt and Jordan.Activities in Cairo, Egypt and Amman, Jordan focused on community outreach and providingeducational and leadership seminars for career development. Additionally, the program aimsto expand the camp selection process for new Egyptian and Jordanian Seeds. In 2004, aSeeds of Peace office opened in each country and there are now over 400 Egyptian andJordanian Seeds from years 1993-2004 that have access to the office and can contribute tothe network of Seeds of Peace in their respective countries.

Through outreach efforts, Seeds of Peace has reconnected with many of the Egyptian andJordanian Seeds who had lost touch with the organization in the past. A new national emaillistserv was created to keep Seeds updated with planned local activities and events. ManySeeds were encouraged and excited about this new initiative and older Seeds have started totake a vital role in the decision making process of organizing the follow-up programs in theirrespective countries. Sami, a Seed from 1997, is now the Program Manager in Jordan andAly, a Seed from 1995, is now working full-time for Seeds of Peace in Egypt.

Through the volunteer efforts of Egyptian and Jordanian Seed graduates, over 12 presenta-tions on Seeds of Peace were organized at schools, private venues and other organizations.Partnerships have been created with local NGO’s to organize and participate in communityservice events. During 2004, the Seeds participated in clothing and food drives for under-privileged people, volunteered in orphanages, and organized charity dinners. In October aftera visit to the El Hussein Cancer Hospital, Seeds of Peace was praised for its work and con-tribution to Jordanian Society. Seeds in both countries have now committed to organizing atleast one charity event every month in 2005.

Egyptian and Jordanian Seeds also took an active role in the selection of the 2004 delega-tions of their respective countries. A select number of Seeds participated in the interviewprocess and planned an orientation for the new Seeds who attended the Seeds of PeaceInternational Camp in 2004.

Seminars & Workshops

In June, Seeds of Peace organized the Arab Seminar for Egyptian, Jordanian and PalestinianSeeds ages 16-24. The goal was to allow the Seeds a chance to examine their role in theorganization and to brainstorm together on future programming the Seeds would like to imple-ment. The seminar also included lectures on diversity, gender roles and the status of womenin the Arab world, the political situation, and career development. Discussion groups includ-ed topics such as how to be an activist in the Arab world and how Seeds of Peace could bet-ter support Arab delegations and current events surrounding the conflict.

In August, Egyptian and Jordanian Seeds organized and participated in the Red Sea Initiative,a seminar held in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, that was designed to examine the progress Seedshave made and to discuss the future of Seeds of Peace in their countries. Graduate Seeds leddiscussions with younger Seeds regarding topics such as the camp selection process, servicelearning projects and outreach efforts. At the end of the seminar, presentations were given tothe Egyptian and Jordanian Program Coordinator.

In December, Egyptian and Jordanian Seeds who are part of the Graduate Program partici-pated in an intense three-day facilitation workshop which taught those interested, the criticalcommunication skills necessary for leading future facilitated discussions.

Partnership ProgramsSesame Seeds

In 2004, Sesame Workshop, the nonprofiteducational organization behind SesameStreet, and Seeds of Peace partnered todevelop a unique community outreachproject in the Middle East. This project,Sesame Seeds, will provide Seeds ofPeace graduates an opportunity to men-tor and act as informal educators toyoung children in their communities byusing Sesame Street material promotingdiversity, tolerance and mutual respect.This year, Sesame Workshop producedmaterials that will be used by the Israeli,Palestinian and Jordanian Seeds as theyvolunteer in their country’s kindergartens.Harnessing the experience and commit-ment of Seeds of Peace graduates andchanneling it with Sesame Workshop’smedia project is just one way to reachhundreds of Israeli and Palestinian youthwith messages of coexistence.

The Rita J. and Stanley H. Kaplan Foundation,generously increased their contributionthis year to support Sesame Seeds.Executive Director, Nancy Greenblatt,and founding trustees, Rita and StanleyKaplan see a synergy between SesameSeeds and the Kaplan Foundation andare proud to provide the funding neces-sary to launch this innovative program.

Daniel Pearl MediaInternship Program

The Daniel Pearl MediaInternship Program, ajoint project of theDaniel Pearl Foundation and Seeds ofPeace was launched in 2004 andenabled nine Israeli and PalestinianSeeds to spend the summer interning atinternational media organizations in theMiddle East. Participating media outletsincluded The Jerusalem Report, anIsraeli newspaper; Channel Two, anIsraeli television news channel; AlAyyam, a Palestinian newspaper; TheRamallah Youth Times, a Palestinianyouth newspaper; ‘Alli Sowtak’ (SpeakUp), a television program produced bythe Palestinian NGO PYALARA; JustVision, a non-profit media organizationthat highlights Palestinian and Israelipeace efforts; Al Quds EducationalTelevision, a non-profit media organiza-tion for Palestinians; and Channel Hop!,an Israeli children’s television channel.

the issues now and I’m making it my duty toget the word out there and to share my expe-rience.” One Arab participant from Jordanfelt similarly and commented, “It helped meto change some mistaken ideas aboutAmericans and I had the opportunity tochange some mistakes that some campershad about my country or religion.”

Following camp, paired Arab and American“City-to-City” groups jointly designed andimplemented projects that developed leader-ship skills while helping their communitiesincrease understanding between Arabs andAmericans. In addition, the participants keptin touch through a daily email listserv to con-tinue their debates and stay connected.

Youth Conference, Amman, JordanFrom March 11-19, 2005, the BeyondBorders participants reconvened in Amman,Jordan for the second part of the exchangeprogram. The Jordan session resembled aconference environment, as the group reunit-ed to more deeply examine the core issuesbetween Arabs and Americans.

Expert speakers from the US and the MiddleEast added depth and context to their dis-cussions, as did visits to sites around Jordan.The group also visited the King Abdullah ofJordan. Given their firsthand experiences inboth the US and the Middle East, the foun-dation has now been laid to begin educatingothers.

The first part of Beyond Borders began dur-ing the camp’s third session (August 14-30)and programming followed the traditionalSeeds of Peace model that combines a livingand recreational environment with dailyDialogue Sessions. The Seeds formed closerelationships in the bunks and tackled toughpolitical issues in Dialogue Sessions –September 11th, Iraq, US foreign policy, ter-rorism, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, mediabiases, and treatment of women and minori-ties, to name a few – while also deepeningunderstanding of their respective cultures.The goal of the camp program was to buildtrust and relationships, create the space forparticipants to learn from each other direct-ly, and to expose them to life in the US. Thesession concluded with a visit to Boston.

Said one delegate from Texas, “Before camp,I thought that I knew a lot about things but Iwas really wrong. I always saw the badimages associated with the word ‘Arab,’ espe-cially after 9/11. Now I’m really passionateabout the conflict in class. It puts a face to

Beyond BordersThis year, Seeds of Peace introduced a groundbreaking exchange programcalled “Beyond Borders/Bila Hodood” enabling Arabs and Americans to engagein serious, honest, and open discussions on the deteriorating relationshipbetween the United States and the Middle East. Beyond Borders is rooted inthe belief that direct interaction and communication are important first stepstowards developing understanding and cooperation. This unique programbrought together 62 Arab and American teens and 23 education officials rep-resenting six Middle Eastern countries (Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Yemen,Egypt, and Jordan) and six American cities (Boston, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles,Dallas, and Atlanta).

Seeds of Peace received both Arab and American support for Beyond Borders, demon-strating the shared investment and commitment from both communities. Participants wererepresentative of the geographic, ethnic, and religious diversity in the US and the Arabworld. The youth were selected primarily on the strength of their leadership potential, andthe adults are educators well-positioned to have a significant impact on their communities. B

India & PakistanSince 2001, over 100 Indian and PakistaniSeeds have participated in the Seeds ofPeace program, creating a spirited communi-ty of advocates who promote peace andunderstanding on the subcontinent. Sincethe rapprochement between the two coun-tries in 2003, these efforts have increased.Now that the youth are able to travel acrossthe border, Seeds of Peace programs haveallowed them to interact with each other athome, discussing important matters in per-son and conducting joint presentations.

Seminars & Workshops

Throughout the year, Indian and PakistaniSeeds met at least once a month in Mumbaiand Lahore respectively to reconnect anddiscuss the latest news. A speaker serieswas also initiated in both cities inviting localexperts in various fields to address theSeeds, their friends and others in the com-munity. This increased the exposure Seedsof Peace receives in regional press andaddressed the need for programming thatreaches beyond the Seeds graduates them-selves. In addition, after months of hardwork, the first issue of the South AsiaNewsletter was published in 2004. TheNewsletter, written by Seeds graduates fromIndia, Pakistan and Afghanistan, addressesissues that impact the South Asian Seedsand their local and regional communities.Targeted at a youth audience, the Newsletterprovides an opportunity for the South AsianSeeds to have their voices heard within theirregion.

To complement the monthly meetings, more

intensive workshops were held in both Indiaand Pakistan. Seeds from South Asia wereenergized in the spring of 2004 with a two-day facilitation training and community out-reach workshop that taught participants howto use drama for educational purposes. InDecember 2004, Seeds in Mumbai, Indiaand in Lahore, Pakistan participated in athree-day community-building, advanceddialogue and leadership training workshopthat culminated in a Bring-a-Friend day thatwas planned and run by the Seeds them-selves. It was an exercise in leadership thatbuilt on the various workshops that theSeeds had participated in over the years.

Home Stay 2004

In the summer of 2004, Seeds of Peacebrought 21 Pakistani Seeds to meet theircounterparts in Mumbai, India. This fol-lowed the home stay program initiated theyear before with an exchange from India toPakistan. After a warm welcome the firstnight by the US Consul General, thePakistani Seeds were guests in the homes oftheir Indian friends who also showed themthe sights of Mumbai.

For five days, the Seeds reconnected, con-tinued their dialogue sessions, and plannedfor future outreach. Part of the exchangeinvolved a retreat outside of Mumbai wherethey spent three days discussing pertinentpolitical and social issues. Upon returningto Mumbai, the Seeds visited various schoolsaddressing over 1,000 students, teachersand school officials to speak about theirSeeds of Peace experience and their sharedcommitment to tolerance, understanding,and coexistence between their two countries.

AfghanistanSince 2002, almost 40 Afghan Seeds haveparticipated in the Seeds of Peace program.Following camp, the Afghan Seeds returnhome with skills that allow them to addressthe culture of violence so prominent in theircountry after decades of strife. Their com-munity outreach specifically revolves aroundpromoting understanding between men andwomen as well as between the variousAfghan ethnic groups.

Seminars & Workshops

Throughout the year, Afghan Seeds met atleast once a month in Kabul to reconnectand discuss the latest in Afghan news andhow that relates to the future of Afghan soci-ety. More intensive conflict transformationworkshops were also organized to help theSeeds overcome obstacles related to otherconflicts in their lives. In February 2004, aworkshop was held that focused on themeaning of peace in Afghan society and howrespect and understanding can be promotedmore effectively. Two months later, a photog-raphy workshop was held allowing the youthto explore perspective through the cameralens. Similar to India and Pakistan, thedrama workshop held in early summerfocused on community outreach. Finally, aworkshop at the end of the summer focusedon the media and ways to get their voice outthrough this channel.

In July, 2004, US Ambassador ZalmayKhalilzad hosted a reception encouraging theSeeds to help rebuild their country in apeaceful, inclusive manner, while carrying amessage of respect, non-violent communica-tion and problem-solving to their community.The Afghan Seeds did just that – teachingcomputer and English classes, making pre-sentations at schools and conferences, writ-ing about the problems in their country forvarious publications and simply speaking outagainst injustice and ignorance in their lives. These youth are continuously working tomake a difference in their communities. In2005, the Afghan program will initiateBring-a-Friend day to create a larger Seedsof Peace ripple in Kabul.

The South Asia programs focus on continuing to engage, encourage, support and challenge

the youth who started their Seeds experience at the International Camp in Maine. In 2004,

South Asia workshops focused on community outreach to equip these young people with

new skills and insight for conducting more effective presentations and workshops in the

subcontinent. In this way, Seeds of Peace ensures a ripple effect that reaches beyond those

attending camp. The South Asia programs continue to expand through efforts of regional

coordinators, local experts and Seeds of Peace staff traveling to the subcontinent.

MaineThe Maine Seeds program, now in its fourth year, incorporates youngstersfrom Portland and Lewiston, Maine whose lives and communities have beenaffected by ethnic-based problems. Maine Seeds brings together youth of allraces and religions, including teenagers from Cambodia, Rwanda, Somalia,Vietnam, Sudan and Uganda who have recently settled in Maine, as well asyouth from European-American families whose Maine roots date back severalgenerations or more. Sixty youngsters participated in the 2004 Maine Seedsprogram this summer.

Following their camp experience, throughout the year Maine Seeds organize and attend bi-weekly meetings and are also deeply involved intheir schools, communities, and state as a whole. Many Maine Seeds are members of their schools’ Civil Rights Team, and at this year’s stateconference, three of the presenters were Seeds. Maine Seeds are recognized in their communities for their volunteer work and for their manycontributions to civic causes. In May 2004, the Portland Seeds organized and led a state-wide Youth Summit which took place at the campand they are engaged in organizing another summit for 2005. In addition, the Lewiston Seeds organized several fundraisers for South Asiantsunami relief that brought in over $2,000. Maine Seeds are frequently called upon to talk throughout the state about Seeds of Peace andabout school issues such as diversity and tolerance. In November, the Maine Youth Action Network invited four Maine Seeds to present aworkshop at their annual conference in Bar Harbor. The workshop addressed their camp experience, follow-up program and the impact Seedsof Peace has had on them and their families.

The face of Maine is changing, and the Maine Seeds program is implementing proactive measures to increase understanding, tolerance, andunity throughout the state.

soccer match for bi-communal youth groups.Artemis, a Greek Cypriot Seed exclaimed,“The peace march yesterday in Nicosia wasawesome! People united in a country divided...imagine a huge crowd of Cypriots walkingtogether and holding hands! We were allshouting slogans and just one voice washeard – the voice of the Cypriots.”

BalkansThe Balkans program, established in 2000,includes nearly 240 youth and DelegationLeaders. This year, through grants from theUS Agency for International Development(USAID), the Government of Norway, andcontinued partnering with US Embassies,non-profits, and international organizationsin the region, the Balkans Seeds were asactive as ever in their home communities.

Violence in March 2004 in Kosovo was theworst suffered since 1999. To address this, aworkshop was held six weeks later in Ohrid,Macedonia. An ethnically-balanced Seedsgroup of Kosovars (Albanian, Roma,Serbian), Macedonian (Albanian, Slavic),and Albanians shared enthusiastic greetings

that dissolved under the weight of fear andbetrayal felt by many in light of the violence.However, the strength of their bond as Seedsand commitment to conflict resolution pre-vailed and they absorbed the next days ofleadership training with dialogue on minori-ties and national status. Workshop evalua-tions recorded increased hope generated bythe meetings. Said Ramiz, a Kosovar Seed,“Seeds of Peace pushes me to live for thefuture, and not just my own future.”

In June, a similar leadership training forSeeds from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia,and Serbia and Montenegro, with dialogueon ramifications of EU membership andnational status, was held on the DalmatianCoast. As in Ohrid, the workshop encouragedSeeds to become leaders in their own activi-ties and instilled in them the confidence tocreate and lead their own activities.

CyprusThe Cyprus program was initiated in 1998when border crossings on the divided islandwere difficult. Today, the border is more openand dialogue between Greek and TurkishCypriots is more critical with the potential forpeaceful resolution greater.

During the second session of the 2004Seeds of Peace International Camp, 28Greek and Turkish Cypriots met for sharedbunk living and dialogue, addressingchanges created by the Annan Plan vote andEU membership. They also created a DVD oftheir experience that will be used in jointpresentations in Cyprus now that bordercrossings are possible.

At home, on a Cypriot email listserv, theCypriot Seeds share news and schedulemeetings for activities, discuss future jointschool presentations, and plan partnershipsto expand Cyprus’ bi-communal effort. Withadult facilitators, teachers, and other groupsacross Cyprus, the Cypriot Seeds helpedstage a fall peace march that captured thefront page of newspapers, and organized a

A Message from PalestinianSeed, Leena Yahia, Age 23

I am a Palestinian who firstwent to the Seeds of PeaceInternational Camp in thesummer of 1996. After I finished my graduate studiesat Hebrew University inAccounting and EnglishLiterature, I wanted to rededi-cate myself to Seeds of Peaceand I therefore applied to

work at the Seeds of Peace Center for Coexistence inJerusalem as a Program Coordinator and was honoredwhen I was hired as a new full-time staff member!

From my own experience, I believe that young peoplewho participate in Seeds of Peace can gain and learn alot. That is why I returned to work for Seeds of Peace.Seeds of Peace offers those with high potentials theopportunities to develop their talents; it gives them thetools to become true leaders in their communities. Forme, this objective is even more than a mission state-ment, it is a lifestyle.

Some people claim that institutions like Seeds of Peacemake one identify with “the other” and forget his or herown identity but this is not the case. For me, I becamemore aware of my own identity as a Palestinian womanwho comes from the heart of the conflict, and it hasmade me even more dedicated and committed to workfor the peaceful future that my community needs.

Thank you so much for your continued support,

Leena Yahia, Jerusalem

A Message from Israeli Seed,Eldad Levy, Age 22

I guess it’s a matter of phases...like an evolution inside of you.

When you are a first-timecamper, you want to return as a

Peer Support camper to help the new and younger Seedsadjust to camp life.

When you are a Peer Support, you can’t wait to returnhome and begin leading other Seeds in the regionthrough the Center for Coexistence in Jerusalem.

When you are a Leader you want to return as a Counselorat the Seeds of Peace International Camp because youcan just never get enough of that summer experience andwatching others go through it.

I received enormous support from the organization when Iwas in the Army so that I could stay in touch with Seedsof Peace and the friends that I made there. I was invitedto everything and came to whatever I could.

Since the Army, I have been working for Seeds of Peacepart-time by leading group activities in Tel Aviv and thesurrounding region. The feeling of “teaching” what you’velearned – of advising, of being there when you are needed –is an awesome feeling and it is clearly payback to whatI’ve received along the years.

I’ve never felt so fulfilled with myself.

Thank you for allowing me this opportunity,

Eldad Levy, Qiryat Gat

Seeds Advisory Council

The Seeds Advisory Council (SAC), estab-lished in early 2004, has become the keyinstrument for graduates’ input into allaspects of the Seeds of Peace organization.SAC members regularly attend board meet-ings, meet with staff, and plan events forSeeds Scholars which provide additionalleadership development opportunities.

The SAC members are actively promotingglobal awareness both on their campusesand in their broader communities. Malvina,an Israeli Seed who attends PrincetonUniversity, led a community-service outreachproject in Veracruz, Mexico for her fellowclassmates. She selected participants, raisedthe necessary finances and coordinated theprogram. Bushra, a Palestinian Seed attend-ing Georgetown University’s School ofForeign Service, organized a panel presenta-tion on the Middle East and together with herIsraeli classmate, engaged in a lively debateabout the future of the region. SAC membersare also working together across their cam-puses. Adham, a Palestinian Seed studyingat Columbia University invited an Israeli SACmember to a presentation hosted byColumbia’s Multi-cultural InternationalStudent Association where they both dis-cussed the role of youth in regions of conflictand their experiences in Seeds of Peace.

Washington Fellows

The Washington Fellows pilot program placedfive Middle East Seeds Scholars interested ina career in international affairs or govern-ment in congressional offices and independ-ent think tanks in Washington, DC. This six-week summer internship gave them a first-hand understanding of the complexity of theAmerican political system. Hazem, aPalestinian Seeds Scholar who worked forSenator Carl Levin (D-MI) commented, “Myassignments varied from writing simplememos on some subject so that the Senatorhad a clear idea on how to vote, to in-depthresearch about hot issues. In addition toincluding my own opinion, I provided a well-balanced and thoroughly researched analysison the subject matter. It was interesting andI felt that I was a part of something big.”

Education ProgramThe Education Program assists Seeds of Peace graduates wishing to pursue their educa-

tion in the US by helping them with the application process. In addition, it raises aware-

ness of Seeds of Peace among US college and university admissions and financial aid rep-

resentatives. In addition, through the Global Leadership Initiative, the Education Program

empowers young adult Seeds to design and implement programs appropriate for their age

group, both in the US and at the Center for Coexistence in Jerusalem.

The events planned in the US through the Global Leadership Initiative in 2004 met with

great success. Through the Seeds Advisory Council, the Washington Fellows Internship

Program, and the Art of Negotiation Conference, the Seeds Scholars have dramatically

increased their effectiveness both within the organization and on their US campuses.

“[College] strengthened my personality and leadership qualities. It was there that I learned how to take action in order to achieve my goals.”

The Art of Negotiation Conference

In mid-November, 45 Seeds Scholars from the Middle East, the Balkans, Cyprus, Turkey,India and Pakistan who are all studying in the US, convened in New York City for The Art ofNegotiation Conference. This was the first event planned solely by the Seeds Advisory Councilin order to provide Seeds studying in the US the opportunity to gain exposure to profession-als involved in political negotiations as well as gain the tools necessary to negotiate effectivelyin their own lives.

The conference focused on teaching negotiation skills and included an intensive workshop bythe Conflict Management Group/Mercy Corps. Two trained facilitators led simulations andshared strategies based on Roger Fisher and William Ury’s method of negotiation outlined intheir book, Getting to Yes. One Seed commented, “It was interesting to get insight into thepractice of negotiations and the problems with current political practices. It made me realizethat negotiations on all levels are like a game which many people play without knowing therules. I feel privileged to know a little bit more now!”

Seeds Scholars left the conference invigorated having received professional negotiation train-ing as well as reuniting with their peers. Fueled by the conference, one Palestinian Seed metwith the organizers of the Jewish Hillel at Columbia University and is working with them toorganize an Arab-Jewish dialogue group for 2005. Anna, an Israeli Seed pursuing her Mastersdegree at Georgetown University commented, “As a result of the Art of NegotiationConference, I gained both theoretical and practical insight into the real world of politics. I amfurther convinced that this is the field I want to go into in the future.”

Shira, IsraeliShira, from Herzliya, is now a 21-year-old freshman

majoring in Government and on a full scholarship atHarvard University. Shira accomplished many projects fol-

lowing her camp experience including working last summer atthe Center in Jerusalem to design seminars for younger Seeds.Once in the US, Shira continued her effort through the EducationProgram and participated in programs such as the Art ofNegotiation Conference. Said Shira, “These conferences are vitalfor us as growing adults who gradually become engaged in diversefields and occupations since in these conferences we get the rareopportunity to exchange professional opinions and initiatives witheach other.” Before college, Shira served for two years in theIsraeli Army Intelligence Unit and following graduation, shehopes to return to the Middle East to work in politics through theMinistry of Foreign Affairs or through the Knesset.

International Camp

Sixty-five adults (aged 30-60) participated inthe Delegation Leader Program during the2004 summer. Of those, 40 came from theMiddle East (including those participating inBeyond Borders), six from South Asia andfour from Cyprus. Beyond Borders alsobrought 12 American educators and threeeducators for the Maine Seeds program.

The diverse group of adults constituted a dis-tinguished international group of educatedprofessionals with careers within their coun-try’s Ministry of Education, as well as highschool or college professors, principals, andheads of departments or diversity units.

The adults participated in an intensive coex-istence program with daily four-hour dialoguesessions and four hours of educational pro-gramming. First, skills were developed using

a 26-hour Harvard University course thatprovided the educators with tools needed toengage in the challenging discussions thatwould arise in Dialogue Sessions. Said oneDelegation Leader, “There weren’t new issuesdiscussed, but what was new was our abilityto discuss them from two perspectives.”

Following, lectures were given on religion,diversity studies, and gender – to name a few.Additionally, the program included visits toschools, religious and government institu-tions, as well as small towns and largercities. The educators also participated in atwo-day Outward Bound experience toencourage team-building and conqueringpersonal challenges.

Regional Program

The Delegation Leaders Program continuesyear-round with follow-up activities withintheir home countries. Since the programbegan, 225 Palestinian, Israeli, Jordanianand Egyptian Delegation Leaders have par-ticipated in the program. As youth educa-tors, each of these adults directly connectwith over 500 students and many run pro-grams for 3,000-10,000 youth.

Five regional groups (based in Gaza, WestBank/East Jerusalem, Jordan, Egypt, andIsrael), meet twice per month to organizecontinuing education and community serviceactivities. Some activities include computercourses held for Delegation Leaders and theircolleagues in Gaza, progressive educationworkshops in Egypt, diversity workshops inIsrael, and democracy education workshopsin the West Bank.

To increase cross-border communicationsand joint projects, in January, the DelegationLeaders held the Aqaba Conference for 50Israeli, Palestinian and Jordanian partici-pants that focused on advanced dialoguetraining and managing difficult conversa-tions. This conference trained the educatorshow to teach non-violent communication toyouth in their communities using these new-found skills. One project developed was theEilat-Aqaba Coexistence Project, a partner-ship between a high school in Eilat, Israeland one in Aqaba, Jordan that will create acurriculum to study the Gulf of Aqaba. Oncedeveloped, the course will be conducted inboth high schools with Israeli and Jordanianstudents completing the online coursetogether, and sharing their experiences withtheir wider communities. This pilot programis slated to run two academic years.

Delegation LeadersSince 1995, Seeds of Peace has run an active educational program for the adult DelegationLeaders who lead the youth to camp. Like the teens, the leaders are chosen by their respec-tive communities as adults who not only serve as escorts but as emotional support for theteens during their summer experience. Most importantly, all the educators return home andencourage their respective governments and communities to continue supporting theefforts of Seeds of Peace. As such, the educators truly act as a gateway to their society –helping their own students to evaluate the stereotypes that discourage understanding ofothers from different cultures, religious traditions, and political views.

Congressional Support

Seeds of Peace receives financial support from the US Government (see page 24) and alongwith that comes the written endorsement of its programs. This year, the House and SenateAppropriations Subcommittee on Foreign Operations highlighted Seeds of Peace as a “pio-neer” in the field of conflict resolution programs (House Report 108-599). In addition, over30 members of the Senate and almost 80 members of the House of Representatives signedletters of support.

Senate letter sponsored by Senators Collins, Feinstein, Levin and Snowe

“We are strong supporters of Seeds of Peace because of the kind of innovative and qualityprograms it represents. The United States has been involved in the pursuit of peace inmany regions of conflict for many years and there is strong bipartisan support in Congressfor this vital American foreign policy goal and national security initiative. While it is essen-tial that the pursuit of peace lead to formal agreements, peace will ultimately depend onbreaking down barriers and mistrust among people. Seeds of Peace can reach thousandsof young people and accomplish its goal on a modest budget.”

House letter sponsored by Representatives Ackerman, Berman, Chabot, Issa, Rahall and Ros-Lehtinen

“We are writing to express our support for Seeds of Peace, an organization that works tosecure lasting peace in key regions of the world by equipping young people with non-vio-lent tools to resolve conflicts and make peace...The innovative work of Seeds of Peacehelps ensure the enduring commitment of these young people to peaceful coexistence. Inlight of the continuing violence in the Middle East and instability in other key regions, therehas never been a greater need for this type of program.”

Election Year Conventions

This election year, Seeds graduates wereinvited to experience what many mightconsider the heart and soul of the USelectoral process when they attended boththe 2004 Democratic and RepublicanConventions. This opportunity helped themunderstand what was required to be suc-cessful in politics – a field that many ofthem are considering for their future.

In July in Boston, a select group of olderSeeds participated in the National Demo-cratic Institute’s International LeadersForum along with over 120 country repre-sentatives to discuss and learn moreabout the US political process and inter-national affairs. Joining the Seeds, whowere the only teenagers invited to partici-pate, were 600 government leadersincluding 15 former chiefs of state orheads of government and 80 members ofparliament representing 55 different par-ties. The Seeds had the opportunity tomeet with former Secretary of StateMadeleine K. Albright, as well as haveconversations with countless ambassa-dors, country representatives and mem-bers of Congress.

During the Republican National Conven-tion in New York City in September, theSeeds were invited guests at the “YouthConvention.” This event drew more than2,500 student leaders and of those wereSeeds serving on the Student AdvisoryCouncil (see page 14). At the Convention,the Seeds met with Representative JoeKnollenberg (R-MI), a long-time championof Seeds of Peace in Congress.

May 20, 2004 Featuring Thomas L. Friedman, The New York Times Foreign Affairs Columnist, The Mandarin Oriental, NYC

From large-scale fundraising benefits to smaller briefings, Seeds of Peace brought togeth-

er its graduates and supporters on a variety of occasions in 2004. Events promoting Seeds

of Peace were held around the country and throughout the world. Additionally, fueled by

the initiative of the Young Leadership Committee, in 2004 Seeds of Peace launched its

Forum on Conflict & Diplomacy, a nonpartisan educational forum that provides a platform

for thoughtful discussion on strategies to promote negotiations and resolve conflict. This

year, corporate supporters including Carlson Wagonlit Travel, Exxon Motor Corporation,

Ford Motor Company, and General Motors Corporation were just some of the businesses

lending their name and financial support toward Seeds of Peace programming and events.

Fred and Helaine Gould were first introduced to theorganization in 1995 when they met Jordanian Seedswhile on a business trip. Excited and inspired by theSeeds, they arranged a meeting with John Wallach andpresented him with a check on behalf of the trip partici-pants. Since then, they have been hooked and havedonated invaluable resources, time and energy toSeeds of Peace. Helaine, a member of the Board ofDirectors and Executive Committee, has been instrumen-

tal to the success of every major gala event in New York, volunteering her time to helpwith every event detail. She also has provided the impetus for Seeds of Peace toexpand the reach of its events, in New York and around the US. As outgoing Chairmanof the board and member of the Executive Committee, Fred has provided leadership,direction and vision for the organization, helping Seeds of Peace reach new heights.Fred and Helaine Gould, and supporters like them, are critical to Seeds of Peace'songoing success. Seeds of Peace thanks the Goulds for all that they do!

Zogby International Survey

In the summer of 2003, Seeds of Peace conducted its first exter-nal evaluation of changed attitudinal shifts among Israeli andPalestinian youth participants at the Seeds of Peace InternationalCamp. The evaluation, carried out by Zogby International, wasbased on a survey instrument produced in English, Hebrew andArabic and given to youth participating in the second session of

camp in 2003. The survey was followed up by interviews on-the-ground in 2004 after theyouth had been home for one year.

The Zogby assessment proved what Seeds of Peace has always known – that participation inthe program positively changes the hearts and minds of thousands of youth who grow up inconflict. Some key findings following the second survey included:

Influencing the “Other Side”A majority of respondents (89%) were optimistic that they were able to influence the“other side” in 2003 and this number increased one year later in 2004 (93%) showingthat Seeds were even more confident than they were after camp about their ability toinfluence others.

Making and Maintaining Friendships with the “Other Side”In August 2003, 93% of Israelis and Palestinians felt that they had become genuinefriends through Seeds of Peace. One year later, a large majority (83%) still believed inthat sentiment, showing that most friendships forged at camp were maintained through-out the year – a significant factor given the situation on the ground during the Intifada.

Sharing the Seeds of Peace ExperienceFollowing camp, 100% of Palestinians and 96% of Israelis felt they could share theirexperiences with their family, friends, and community. In fact, only 2% felt they had notbeen able to share their experience – an important finding given that this is one way toincrease impact and spread the message of Seeds of Peace beyond the camp experience.

Participating in Center Activities and Staying in TouchA large majority of the Seeds (95%) surveyed in 2003 and 2004 have participated in fol-low-up activities and events – whether at the Center or within their home community. 94%of Palestinians have done so, as well as 95% of Israelis. This shows a dedicated interestin the organization and the community, which is essential for Seeds of Peace to have anylong-term impact.

The Zogby survey demonstrated that Seeds of Peace must begin surveying all camp partici-pants to ensure all its programs are effective and achieving the results desired. During thesummer of 2004, Seeds of Peace began developing and testing, in house, its own surveyinstruments for all program participants with help of an expert to assist with the survey designand statistical analysis. Based on lessons learned the last two years, survey instruments arebeing further refined for all Seeds of Peace programs.

22

Seeds of Peace has always solicited participant feedback on its programs to make sure

they are meeting the needs of participants as well as program objectives. These efforts

have been expanded substantially over the last two years, as Seeds of Peace has begun

developing a monitoring and evaluation system for all its programs and camp delega-

tions. This will provide Seeds of Peace with hard data from which to evaluate, design,

and refine its programs.

Social Impact Survey

Under a grant from USAID, in 2005Seeds of Peace will carry out its firstimpact assessment of its Israeli-Palestinian program over the last tenyears. This will include an assessment ofthe quality, impact and effectiveness ofthe Seeds of Peace Israeli-Palestinian pro-gram for youth and adult DelegationLeaders, and provide recommendationsfor strengthening these efforts. The pri-mary focus will be on the Seeds of Peacefollow-up program from the Center inJerusalem.

The evaluation will measure the impact ofthe program on the attitude of partici-pants and their willingness to worktowards peaceful coexistence with the“other side.” Moreover, it not only willassess the effect of the program on par-ticipants, but also on the broader commu-nities (e.g. families and schools) fromwhich participants come. This will allowSeeds of Peace to assess whether there isa multiplier effect of the program.

The evaluation team is being led by Dr.Mohammed Abu-Nimer, a leading scholaron the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and pro-grams aimed at addressing the conflict;and by Dr. William Millsap, a leadingexpert in designing and carrying out eval-uations of international NGO programs.

The research team has already conductedmany interviews in the United States andJerusalem with Seeds of Peace staff andgraduates. Up to 300 Seeds will be sur-veyed with an equal size control group.There will also be extensive interviews andfocus groups of both Seeds andDelegation Leaders.

This in-depth review of Seeds of Peacewill surely help plan the next steps in fur-ther developing the organization and itscritical leadership programs.

Growing Rapidly and Efficiently

While Seeds of Peace managed to match itsprevious successes in major event fundrais-ing, revenue growth was most dramatic ingeneral donations, which has a much lowercost per dollar raised. General donationsincreased by over 50% in 2004, making it alarger percentage of total revenue (34%)than last year (26%).

Seeds of Peace was also able to lower itsfundraising costs by raising more dollarsonline. In August 2004, it introduced a newwebsite and monthly email newsletter, andrealized an immediate and sizable return oninvestment. Online fundraising from Augustto December 2004 generated over $120,000from 503 gifts, compared to $11,000 from85 gifts in the same period last year–anincrease of over 1000%! A winter e-Appealwas also supported by Paul Bernstein, alongtime Seeds of Peace board member, whogenerously matched online gifts dollar-for-dollar in memory of his daughter StefanieBernstein Brown. Each online donation has amuch lower cost of processing, and isacknowledged via email, so continued growthin this area will allow Seeds of Peace to con-tinue to lower its overhead costs.

Seeds of Peace’s fundraising efforts contin-ued to grow with expanded concentration onraising monies from proposal-based founda-tions this year. The effort proved successfulas it competed for and won more grants thanever this year, raising approximately 30%more in 2004 as compared to 2003.

Fundraising Events

Seeds of Peace is concentrating fundraisingefforts on more cities throughout the UnitedStates. From large-scale fundraising benefitsto smaller breakfast and lunch briefings,Seeds of Peace brought together its gradu-ates and supporters through a variety ofevents in 2004.

Events promoting Seeds of Peace were heldaround the country and world includingBoston, Dallas, Detroit, London, LosAngeles, New York, Orlando, Portland (ME),San Francisco, Seattle, Scottsdale, andWashington DC (see photos on page 21). Ineach community, a volunteer base is devel-oping that will facilitate future fundraisingactivities.

Peacemaker’s Society

In 2004, Seeds of Peace introduced thePeacemaker’s Society, a new donor club thatrecognized the critical support of donors thatmade an annual contribution exceeding$1,000. As a member of the Peacemaker’sSociety, donors received admission into theSeeds of Peace Forum on Conflict &Diplomacy, a nonpartisan educational forumthat provides a platform for thoughtful dis-cussion on strategies to promote negotiationsand resolve conflict. Peacemaker Societymembers, who also receive access to exclu-sive policy briefing calls and additional spe-cial events throughout the year, will be a vitalbase of revenue moving forward.

Funding OverviewSeeds of Peace enjoyed another record-breaking year in terms of revenue growth, as it raisedthe resources to allow for continued expansion of programming and investment in organizationalcapacity. This growth is remarkable considering the competition for dollars posed by thePresidential election, the continuing Israeli-Palestinian violence, and the war in Iraq.

In total dollars, Seeds of Peace raised $8.715 million dollars in FY2004, an increase of 42%over FY2003 ($6.15 million dollars). This figure is magnified by a $1.9MM gift from an anony-mous donor that helps to expand Seeds of Peace's infrastructure to deliver programming to moreteenagers in the Middle East, and will facilitate the launch of a major fundraising campaign.Even excluding this generous gift, Seeds of Peace’s revenue grew by more than 12% in FY2004.The total number of donors also grew by 10%, from 4,835 donors to 5,321 donors. Behind thenumbers, there are a number of indicators that suggest that Seeds of Peace can continue toexpand its revenue with increased efficiency.

Budget Analysis

With three summer sessions in Maine, including a pilot program during the third session that brought together Arab and Americanteens, the Center for Coexistence in Jerusalem, new programming initiatives in Amman and Cairo, follow-up activities for delega-tion leaders and youth spanning the globe, and an education and leadership programming for Seeds of Peace graduates, the Seedsof Peace annual operating budgeted was $7.7 million dollars in 2004. Fiscal controls now ensure that over 76 cents of every dol-lar support programming; moreover, Seeds of Peace is increasingly identifying new ways to reduce costs, whether it’s the introduc-tion of new technology or sourcing major cost categories, including travel and entertainment, printing, and shipping.

Treaties are negotiated by governments. Peace is made by people. Seeds of Peace is doing what no government can.

It is sowing the seeds of peace among the next generation of leaders. It is educating them to develop empathy, respect and confidence. It is equipping them with communication and negotiation skills. It is enabling them to see the human face of their enemies.

By empowering them to emerge as tomorrow's leaders, Seeds of Peace is working to forge the personal relations so critical to peacemaking and reconciliation.
