From Conflict to Collaboration

Those who attended Rise 2011 from all over the globe got to experience something truly amazing. For years our world has been in conflict. Out of love for us our families go to war to protect us. But what are they protecting us from? Who are they protecting us from?
Israel and Palestine have been in conflict for thousands of years, but what would happen if the women in the two regions rose above the fear and conflict to collaborate? What if they became the best of friends, sisters, and came home to the families who are protecting them and said "Enough! No more. These are my sisters."
At Rise 2011, this indeed was a reality for all to see, two women of the braveheart community, one from Palestine, and the other from Israel, walked on stage as sisters to accept the 2011 Collaboration award.
