Empowering Young People To Create Global Peace Walls
At an awards dinner at the Ana Tzarev Gallery in Midtown, the Israeli-raised dynamo told 250 supporters that her group has painted a peace wall in the Jacob Schiff Park at 138th St. and Amsterdam Ave. There is also a new one in Karachi, Pakistan. "We are now working on a peace wall in Jaffa with Arab and Jewish kids working together," she said. "They found something in common. If we can make it in Israel, we can make it everywhere." Robert Dunn accepted a brick award on behalf of Badr Jafar, executive director of the Crescent Petroleum Group. Liesel Pritzker presented an award, made by artists, to Amir Dossal, executive director of the United Nations Office of Partnerships. "Art is the greatest equalizer," Dossal said. "Tsipi actually brought together people like Israelis and Palestinians." Dossal welcomed his fellow honoree, Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York. She’s the former wife of Queen Elizabeth’s second son, Prince Andrew, the Duke of York. She is founder of the Children in Crisis organization and a bestselling author of children's books (Ashley Learns About Strangers). Her latest project is a series titled, Helping Hand Books, coming in the fall from Sterling Publishing. Dossal introduced her as "the Duchess of New York" and said she’s "a killer." "She’s a breath of fresh air at the United Nations. If we work together, we live better, and we’ll bring peace to the world." |
