CHILDREN OF PEACE ENJOYS A

SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH November 2006

 

Virginia Taylor writes.. Over 100 people, including MPs, members of the national and international press and representatives of Neve Shalom-Wahat al Salam, the Peres Center for Peace, the Abraham Fund, Parents Circle and OneVoice, attended the very successful Launch of Children of Peace in London last month at the Saatchi Atrium in London, kindly donated to Children of Peace by sponsors M & C Saatchi.

 

This was a Launch with a difference: the lovely 17 year old Israeli singer Liel Kolet – who is a Goodwill Ambassador for our Charity - accompanied by a young musician Eldad Zitrin, sang the beautiful anthem she has written especially for Children of Peace entitled: Dream of Tomorrow and John Lennon’s song: Imagine – reminding us of her famous duet with President Bill Clinton.

 

At the Launch, Liel spoke movingly of her dream to help bring peace to the children of countries torn apart by conflict, so that they can experience a normal childhood and act as powerful ambassadors for a more peaceful future. Even at such a young age she is already realising this dream by singing and spreading her message of hope with politicians and leaders around the world including Bono and Nelson Mandela.

 

The Chairman, Richard Martin, spoke from the heart when he explained why he had founded Children of Peace. “Bombs don’t recognise nationality, religion or age. They just kill indiscriminately. And children on all sides of this conflict are victims – the forgotten victims. I believe it is time speak up for them and to help bring together the organisations on the ground in both Israel and Palestinian who are trying to heal the wounds.”

 

Speakers included Mr Kassim Baddarni, the Director of the al-Taj for Health and Heritage, based in the Galilee. The audience also responded positively to the Panel, that included John Guyatt, the Secretary of the charity, Liel and Richard Martin, Goodwill Ambassador Mansoor Ijaz and our new Trustee, Nihaya Daoud, the Palestinian child health expert. Nihaya spoke of her work on the ground in Israel and Palestine. Other members of the Panel –answered a number of lively questions from the press and the audience. Other Trustees present at the Launch were Solange Azagury Partridge, Nicole Pritchard Smith, Clare Packham and Virginia Taylor. Goodwill Ambassadors who joined the Launch included Valerie Martin and Louise Ellman, MP for Liverpool, Riverside. Middle Eastern cuisine was served as refreshments to the guests.

 

The event was followed by considerable coverage that included articles in the Western Daily Press, Jewish News and the Totally Jewish website to interviews with LBC, BBC Radio Manchester, Reuters and the Press Association.
