From the notification
letter:
"On behalf of the World Association of
Non-Governmental Organizations (WANGO), and the Awards Committee under
the chairmanship of Dr. Noel Brown, President of Friends of the United
Nations, I am delighted to inform you that the Center for Conflict
Resolution and Reconciliation (CCRR) has been selected as the recipient
of the 2007 Peace & Security Award.
The prestigious WANGO awards recognize
non-governmental organizations (NGOs) from throughout the world that
demonstrate exceptional effort, service, innovation, and excellence.
These awards are presented to both large, well-known NGOs, as well as to
smaller NGOs in less developed regions, whose valuable work may have
slipped wider visibility. ...
Your various projects – peace
education, youth project, media program, school violence, young
politicians program, and programs for women – are fundamentally
important for the future of Palestine and ultimately world peace. We are
delighted to recognize such efforts and bring greater worldwide
awareness of the extraordinary accomplishments of CCRR."
On November 9, 2007, CCRR's director,
Dr. Noah Salameh, accepted the prize at the Awards Ceremony at the World
Congress of NGOs in Toronto, Canada. |
