Meet Noor A’wad
Noor A’wad is a Palestinian activist from Beit Sahour who chose to remain in his homeland and came to see direct encounter with Israelis as a form of nonviolent resistance.
On a beautiful summer evening in Geneva, five activists from two B8 of Hope grantee organizations shared their personal stories, the challenges they face, and the commitment that keeps them working for change.
Le Temps named Mehra Rimer among the 100 most influential people in French-speaking Switzerland—bringing wider recognition not only to her leadership, but to the peacebuilders at the heart of B8 of Hope’s work.
At Institut Le Rosey, bereaved Israeli and Palestinian fathers Rami Elhanan and Bassam Aramin shared how they chose reconciliation over revenge—and invited students to consider what peace demands of us.
