Daoud Nasser, founder of Tent of Nations

Daoud has set-up a project called, 'Tent of Nations' designed to bring together Israelis, Palestinians and internationals to build bridges of reconciliation, understanding and peace. Groups stay on the farm together, work the land and plant trees.

In the summer they run youth camps for Jewish and Palestinian children. He says, “At least, we need people to believe there is still a future here and this is not going to be done with words. We need actions, learning by doing. When young people come here and they see changes on the ground and volunteers, they believe that our future should be shaped by our own hands."

"We cannot expect the Americans to achieve peace for us. Peace has to grow from the roots up.”
