Peace Camp Initiative
August 20, 2008
The Almanac, a Silicon Valley newspaper, recently ran a story on the Peace Camp Initiative. Three kids from Israel, Adam Horovitz, Zahi Tuama and Ahmed Hamudi (Jewish, Christian and Muslim) were taken to an American summer camp, and used Aikido as a method of conflict resolution.
At the end of the camp, the three boys listed each other as their closest friends at the camp.
Robert Kent, who came up with the idea, hopes eventually to take 12 peace campers per year through the programme.
