Seeds of Peace

Seeds of Peace recently attended the second annual Islamic Games held in the city of South Brunswick, New Jersey, on Saturday, May 24, 2008. The objective of the Islamic Games was to execute a professional athletic and sports event within the Muslim community that promotes athletic skills, develop appreciation for sports and encourage participation from the community. For Seeds of Peace, it was an opportunity to engage in a conversation with Muslim youth. Having an open and honest dialogue with the Muslim community is a priority for Seeds of Peace and the organization was thrilled to participate in the games. Representing Seeds of Peace were, Jacob Toll (Member, Junior Board of Directors), Sadeq Damrah (Olympic swim team coach for Palestine), Rami Qubain, Eitan Paul, Laith and Chuck Poliacof-Goldberg. They spent the afternoon speaking to attendees of the games and introducing the work of Seeds of Peace.
