Profile Information

Hometown:: SWANSEA Wales UK

Relationship Status:: Single

My personal story:: In 2002, I devised the Peace Mala bracelet and project. This was my response to the racial taunts and religious intolerance experienced by several of my Muslim and BME students in the aftermath of 9/11. I was working as Head of Religious Studies in a large comprehensive school in Llanelli Wales UK at the time.

Why I want peace:: Peace can only begin within the hearts of each one of us. Through the power of creative education it is possible to plant a seed of hope in the minds of young people who are the future of our world. The Peace Mala project engages with young people on this level.

The Peace Mala International Awards for Youth take place every September in the WCIA United Nations Association Temple of Peace in Cardiff Wales UK.

Hey, I didn't realise there was someone else from Wales on here. I am from Brecon. Small world. I have looked up your website and I shall pass on the message.

How time flies! Congratulations and well done for all the work you have done with mepeace. May you hold on to your vision and may it grow and become a reality.

If this is of any encouragement, I started the Peace Mala project during the aftermath of 9/11 when I was still teaching. Since then there have been many times when I've felt like giving up but, I've kept my vision crystal clear.

Here we are six years on from the launch of Peace Mala and we are now celebrating the third year of the Peace Mala International Awards for Youth. It's still hard work and funding and sustainability are a constant worry but, our work continues for the children of the world who are our future.

If you feel there is any way that we can introduce Peace Mala to children in the Middle East, that would be truly wonderful. It would be amazingly powerful if we had some children from the Middle East win next year's International Awards for Youth. How about us working on that idea? It would certainly help raise the profile on the important work being done by mepeace and Peace Mala.

The awards ceremony takes place every September in the Welsh Centre for International Affairs /United Nations Association Temple of Peace in Cardiff, Wales, UK.

I look forward to hearing from you.

With every blessing,

The sting of all problems between Israeli and Palestinians lays in the Old City of Jerusalem. Her status has to be solved in such a way, that all parties fighting for control over her can agree upon.

On June 24, the ‘Big Hug’ will be hold in Jerusalem. Light workers from Israel, Palestine and from all over the world, ‘Lovers of Jerusalem’, will come together to bring warmth and energy to this city, embracing holding hands the Old City. If we bundle all our positive energies and bring these to Jerusalem, we can create peace to this exceptional place.

We are organizing the Big Hug to make the people aware –especially the Israeli and Palestinian inhabitants of Jerusalem- that there is a very shaped perspective for the city of Jerusalem as a city of peace: a new, undivided Jerusalem, as the capital of Palestine, Israel and at large.

Let go of the conflict concerning her command and dedicate the city to the Omnipresent. The Old City as a whole is His Temple. To give the walled Old City free to God, as a "Status Apart”, as an independent city, will be the most feasible way to come out the current impasse.

The Old City of Jerusalem must become an open city; a House of Prayer for all the Peoples. This perspective is written down in the Holy Books, this is the perspective we, as ‘Lovers of Jerusalem’ embrace as well as solution. But how many people does already notice this hopeful point of view?

What I saw in Jerusalem and also everywhere else where I meet Islamic and Jewish people is, that not so many persons really think about a future for Jerusalem. Most of the time, they stick with old ideas that the Old City of Jerusalem will always remain a part of Israel, or in opposite, that it will be absolutely a part of a new Palestinian state, as stolen land that has to be given back. With these visions, a future Jerusalem will be a divided city with an East Palestinian and West Israeli part, with barbed wire and checkpoints in between, like the situation of the city from 1948-1967. Or, coming closer to an agreement, people suggest -like proposed in the “Geneva Accord” in 2003- to make a complicated dividing of the Old City in a Israeli and Palestinian part. That will mean that the small alleys will be split by walls and barriers too. The idea that a future Jerusalem will become a divided city, is something that we have to prevent.

There are living about 250.000 Palestinian and 500.000 Israeli rather close together in one city. Do they want to make a separation of Jerusalem in parts or do they choose, deep in their hearts, for unity? So my best friends, it is our task to inform the whole city that there is an alternative for the Jerusalem of today.

All lovers of a united Jerusalem will come together to encircle and embrace the Old City of Jerusalem with love and devotion. We have to encourage all inhabitants of Jerusalem to join the coming Big Hug, with the idea of a New Jerusalem that might be realized with their support.

Your plans for the InterFaith Day sound great. You can still enter for the Youth Awards. Send us a full description of your plans, along with your entry, to reach us by Friday 30th May. How many kits or made Peace Malas would you like for your students?

Our website will be changing within the next month or so along with a section for young people - it would be good to hear from your students what sorts of things they would like to see on it!

Love and all good wishes,
Pam

We have started to get underway properly with plans for this year's Interfaith Day. It isn't going to be until June this year for various reasons, but I am still hoping that we'll have an entry for you, particularly given your new criteria and the way its being organised...some of my kids just rock so much its scary:) btw I have recommended that the new look teach re website includes a link to the peace mala website...hope that's ok!
All the best,
Jenny

As your a busy girl I have added Peace Mala to my free directory on www.universallove.co.uk for you. Talk again soon, Love Hannah ^j^

At 11:21pm on March 5, 2008, Pam Evans said…: Dear Donna,

What date in June are you planning this event? I would so love to be able to attend, along with some supporters etc but, funding is a big issue, as is full diaries. There is so much happening this end including visits to schools, youth groups and community projects along with plans for the Peace Mala Garden Party event in July and the Peace Mala International Awards for Youth on 17th September at the WCIA/UNA Wales Temple of Peace in Cardiff Wales UK.

I can send you printed information and some Peace Malas to help you with what you are planning. If you send me your postal address, I can get some of this material to you.

With funding many things are possible...but, that is the main stumbling block for all of us working in the charity and voluntary sector.

I look forward to your views on all of this.

With my thanks, prayers and every blessing,
Pam
