Information

At the end of the Winter 2012 term I was offered on opportunity to volunteer as an intern in the community of Neve Shalom, Wahat-as-Salam, the Oasis of Peace, a community of Israeli Jews and Arabs. Founded in the 1970s, NSWAS was founded as a cooperative village, proving to the world that Arab/Palestinians and Israelis can live together in peace and prosperity.

I will be interning at Peace College within NSWAS this summer. Peace College offers courses in conflict prevention and peace-building and I will interning with them for a period of four months this summer.

NSWAS and Peace College have given me an opportunity to travel to Israel/Palestine, something that I have wanted to do since I was 12 years old.

Here I will post entries and pictures of my experiences within Israel and Palestine.

The Library

Second floor reading and common area
Main stairway, window and 2nd floor offices in the foreground
There is something that is soo inspirational about a building that is under construction. You can imagine what it will look like when it's finally finished, that possibilities of all that could be.  

A few days ago we took another tour of the library as a few of the tables were being moved in. 

It's going to be amazing once it's built. A place for learning and reading and eating!

I jokingly said that I would love to come back and be a librarian. If only wishing made it so.
