SAVE THE DATE! July 13, 2009, 7 PM Education as a Tool for Justice and Peace in the Middle East

Monday, July 13, 2009
7:00 PM
Albany Public Library
161 Washington Ave (between Dove and Lark Streets) Albany, NY

Brother Jack Curran FSC PhD, the Director of Development at Bethlehem University in the Palestinian West Bank, will lecture about "Education as a Tool for Justice and Peace in the Middle East."

Bethlehem University- the first university founded in the West Bank, a Catholic university with a 2/3 Muslim student body - offers an alternative to suicide bombings, targeted assassinations, walls, fences, settlements, soldiers, and home demolitions. Education is the path it provides towards a just and viable peace in the Middle East. Jack Curran was born and grew up in the Albany area.

This program is co-sponsored by Women Against War and other local groups.
