~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trinity Cathedral and Cleveland Peace Action present Daoud Nassar, Palestinian Farmer, Tent of Nations, Bethlehem. He will speak on "Continuing Hope-Overcoming Obstacles," Thursday, March 10th, 7:00 PM, at Trinity Cathedral, 2230 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, 44115
Please join us for a presentation by Daoud Nassar, a Palestinian farmer whose family works their farm and orchard just outside the town of Bethlehem, surrounded by settlements. The family strives to maintain a haven of peace and brother/sisterhood through activities of the Tent of Nations, a dynamic peace and local education center established by the Nassar family in 2000. International visitors, including many Israelis, join together to plant trees, harvest olives and fruit, teach at the Women's Education Center, lead activities in Youth Summer Camps, and come together in solidarity and shared goals in the pursuit of a just peace through non-violent activities. At their front gate, a sign reads "We Refuse to Be Enemies." Nasser is Winner of Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture's 2010 Peace Site Award.
Refreshments will be served.
