Play Football Make Peace

In the first two weeks of May, following the Aqaba workshop, Peace Dream Football international director, Robin Graham crossed into Northern Israel from Jordan by the Sheikh Hussein bridge. There are only 3 border crossings from Israel to Jordan; the other two are at Eilat-Aqaba  by the Red Sea; the Allenby Bridge ( King  Hussein crossing) by Jericho on the road from Amman to Jerusalem.
The upcoming Middle East Peace Football Program will be held in the region between Nazareth and Jenin. Nazareth is in Israel, and Jenin is in Palestine. The visit to Israel and Palestine gave Robin Graham the opportunity to cement the relationships with the Peace Dream team of coaches, and with local officials and community leaders on both sides of the border.
Robin’s host was Faiad Shalaby the program director. The visit included visits to Jenin on the first day, to meet with the Peace Dream’s Palestinian coach on his home ground.
