Eco-Peace in the Middle East--from CCSF Campus to Glide Memorial

Deborah Levy let us teachers--current and retired--know about a special event on the CCSF campus.
Eco-Peace in the Middle East. 


She wrote, "The three co-directors (from Jordan, Israel, and Palestine) of a terrific  organization called Eco-peace will be speaking, and  leading at least some conversation.  Talking about water availability and access to clean water - very concrete topics - can offer an opportunity for 
positive discussion and relationship-building, across (but not ignoring) political differences."

I couldn't make the presentation on campus from 11:00 to 12:30 because I had to be at a CARA meeting at 1:00 in another part of town.

But there was a second presentation at Glide Memorial in the evening, so I attended that.

The announcement read "Water rights, Environmental Protection and Peace in the Middle East A presentation by three co-directors of Ecopeace Middle East

Yana Abu Taleb

Nada Majdalanby

but Nada Majdalanby was denied a visa.
