|
|
|
 |
Time magazine has chosen FoEME's 3 Directors, Nader Khateeb (Palestinian Director), Munqeth Mehyar (Jordanian Director) and Gidon Bromberg (Isreali Director) as this year's Heroes of the Environment 2008!
TIME correspondent, Andrew Lee Butters writes that "FoEME understands that the road to sustainability, like the road to peace, is going to be a slow, messy human project of community organizing, education and trust-building..." and that FoEME's projects "encourage local leaders to reach out across conflict lines and make contact for the first time with local politicians on the other side... a step toward creating an atmosphere of trust and respect that serves the broader goal of peace."
