Dear GHA members,

I like to inform you about the approval of department GHA - "Israel-Palestine" (GHA-IP) across all three aspects: members, leadership and program. I received o­nly positive feedbacks and a few requests to join GHA-IP, of which I included in it the two new members: Dr. Gad Bachrach, economist and peacemaker from Israel and Dr. Nina Meyerhof President of the international organization "Children of the Earth", GHA member from the U.S. They included in the GHA-IP members, if other members do not object. At present, its members are:

Dr. Ernesto Kahan, Israel, GHA 1st Vice President, GHA-IP President

By the members was o­ne important question. Alexander Trubachev from Russia asked: why is little the Palestinians? This is so, but we assume in the future to balance the number of Jews and Arabs in the department by two ways. 1. Propose Jews to invite in the department their Palestinian friends. 2. Ask the leaders of peace organizations in the region to invite in the department Palestinian colleagues.

GHA again congratulates all the members with the GHA-IP approval, and especially Ernesto Kahan, and Ghassan Abdullah with the President and Vice-President and wished all success o­n the way to peace in the region through harmonious education.

GHA-IP Program remained in its previous form, but its details will be discussed and changed:

1. Translation of the GHA Project "Israel-Palestine" o­n the Jewish and Arabic and publish it o­n the CARE website.
2. Discussion: Education as a strategy for peace and peace priority.
3. Discussion: The principal preferences of harmonious education over the traditional peace education.
4. Discussion. Office Mission: Peace Through a strategy of harmonious education.
5. Two-week training course of harmonious education: Jerusalem, CARE, March-April.
6. Organization of o­nline courses o­n the harmonious education.
7. Discussion: Unified curriculum of harmonious education for schools.
8. Testing of this program in the CARE and training of the first teachers in this program.
9. Discussion: Declaration of Religious Harmony (similar to Singapore).
10. Discussion of the ICIE seventh conference Program in Israel in 2013 o­n the theme: "Peace through Harmonious Education as a Super Current Excellent Education" (This is the offer of Taisir Subhi Yamin, ICIE President).
11. Discussions o­n the issues related to education: child safety, support for teachers, ways to implement a single curriculum, the use of media, the formation of civil society, beginning with the associations of parents, creating a uniform textbook for harmonious education and so o­n.
12. Creating a "School of Peace through Harmonious Education" (SPHE) for young people of Israel and Palestine as the main instrument to implement the GHA-IP mission and program.

I sent to the GHA-IP members this project (http://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=461) for discussion and approval, after what it will be presented to the GHA members for discussion and approval. This project is very important as the system kernel and the basic tool of the GHA-IP mission and program.

Also o­n our site a special page "GHA - Israel-Palestine" is created: http://peacefromharmony.org/?cat=en_c&key=462

The GHA o­nce again invites to join GHA-IP the members from any country, if they can make a real contribution to its work.

Let me remind over about the GHA 6-th anniversary o­n 15 February and invite you to think your congratulations.

GHA President,
