Congratulations to the graduating class of Building Peace and Resilience! The diploma award ceremony held on June 22 celebrated a group of 40 mental health professionals who had dedicated their time and effort towards advancing a Jewish-Arab society that can have a shared future. This Change Agents group, which included Palestinian and Israeli professionals, trained for 18 months to become facilitators for groups in conflict.
It has been a long and difficult journey for the group of 40 mental health professionals. Previous funding for this program, a $1,000,000 grant from USAID, was terminated on January 31st of 2019— along with all USAID funding throughout the West Bank and Gaza. Friends Associations from around the world, including AFNSWAS, stepped up to fill the gap with generous donations and pledges of support.
Because of our efforts, Building Peace and Resilience students and instructors were able to continue their incredibly important work. The tenacity and compassion of these change agents cannot be overstated. Help us support these SFP graduates and current students in their quest to create a better future.
