August 3 - NM Organization Trains Girls as Leaders in Israel-Palestine Peace Effort

Since 1948 when the first Arab-Israeli agreement was reached establishing a two-state region in the Middle East, continuing conflict has dominated news reports.  But at the same time many non-governmental agencies have been working to reach peace.  One of those is the Santa Fe-based group, Creativity for Peace.  The non-profit works in the West Bank and in New Mexico, bringing teenaged girls together at its summer camp here in a peaceful setting where they can share their stories, learn mediation skills, and get to know one another. KSFR’s Deborah Martinez has more on their fifth annual cultural celebration for peace.
