Seeds of Peace | UKSeeds of Peace UK hosted a Launch Party on July 12th at the Mayfair Hotel in London. The evening was a success, with over 150 people attending and a short but powerful program about Seeds of Peace.

Sahar, an Israeli Seed, addressed the group via video, while Palestinian Seed Loai spoke in person. In the fall, Sahar will be drafted into the IDF and Loai will head back to Gaza after completing his studies in London.


After their speeches and a few short videos, Launch Partyers took some time to chat with other Seeds in attendance: Iskra (Macedonia, 2000), Shyam (India, 2000), Amal (Pakistan, 2000), Shabbir (India, 2002), Loizos (Cyprus, 2001) and Nada (Egypt, 2001).

The group discussed three ways to help our Seeds of Peace/UK community:

  • Join SUN for Seeds, an informal professional support network. The goal if this network is to match the incredible potential of our Seeds with the incredible potential of the successful, talented, and influential people of the city of London. SUN for Seeds members will provide practical career support—advice, expertise, networking opportunities—for Seeds who aspire for successful careers in their relevant industries. Sign up today!

  • Help with future fund-raising events. Our goal is to support Seeds of Peace with the capacity to offer our Seeds one program a month when they return home from Camp. E-mail london@seedsofpeace.org if you would like to help with event logistics, planning, marketing, or if you can help with our Peace Market UK event in 2011, which will include an fund-raising auction. Also, feel free to contribute personally to our efforts to empower young leaders around the globe to employ better leadership and dialogue in their quest for a more peaceful word.

  • Keep our Seeds of Peace/UK community growing. Connect us to foundations that work for peacemaking, leadership or youth empowerment. Invite people who are interested in our work to join our community. London is a transient place and talented people come and go—we have to keep our community growing, so spread the word about Seeds of Peace.

    • As always, e-mail london@seedsofpeace.org with questions, comments and ideas.
