creativity for PeaceThe courage to lead. The promise of change.
“I came to camp with a lot of fear, hurt, and
loneliness. As an Arab living in Israel I felt like a traitor
to Palestinians and at the same time denied by the
Israeli community. Here I felt loved and I learned how to
take care of myself and my beliefs. I’m happy because I
choose to be a peacemaker and to make a change.”
– Hazar, Palestinian living in Israel
“Now I can deal with the
Israeli people without being
afraid or worried. I can say
what I think without fear,
as I did in dialogue. I can use
art to express my feelings.”
–Jenan, Palestinian
I AM A PEACEMAKER
“It is sad that you have to
fly 7,000 miles to realize how
much Jews and Palestinians
have in common. Even our
anger and pain are shared.
People have the power to
ruin and build, kill and make
new life. All we have to
do is choose. Choosing is
true power.”
–Ma’ayan, Jewish Israeli

SCHOlARSHIPS
Congratulations to Muna Sbouh, 19, from Nablus in the West Bank, Palestine. A 2008 camper and young leader, Muna has received a three-year scholarship to study media and journalism at Birzeit University in Ramallah. In her scholarship application Muna wrote, “Creativity for Peace has given me the power to help all peacemakers who come after me. If one day I become a reporter or editor perhaps I will be able to show that there is hope for peace.“ Academic scholarships to Muna and to Emily Jaber are made possible by the Arthur B. Schultz Foundation.

Thirty-six young women have made a significant commitment to peacemaking through their work as young leaders. In exchange for year-round training in emotional and practical leadership skills, these leaders are giving back to Creativity for Peace by assisting with camper recruitment and program development. Young leaders attend workshops, organize and lead camper gatherings, and represent the organization in their communities.
They are already making their voices heard. Mai was selected as a delegate to the Global Youth Summit in London and then made a presentation at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Khadrah published an essay on youth peacemaking. Adi works in a high-level position in the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC and Diana as a reporter for a television station in the West Bank.
The Board of Directors has established the Leslie Nathanson Juris Leadership Fund at Creativity for Peace to support these young women. For further information or to donate contact Dottie Indyke at [email protected].
