Seeds of Peace

OTISFIELD, Maine - Seeds of Peace, which brings together children from countries in conflict, is getting set to begin its 2008 summer program Tuesday at its camp in the western Maine town of Otisfield. Attending the first session will be young Egyptians, Israelis, Palestinians, Jordanians, Indians and Pakistanis. They'll bunk, eat and play together and take part in discussions about regional conflicts. Seeds of Peace was founded 15 years by John Wallach, a foreign correspondent who died in 2002. Since its founding, the program has brought 4,000 children to the camp.
