In this Parents Circle webinar, Layla Alsheikh and Robi Damelin share a message of reconcilation, not revenge. Both have lost a child to the conflict in Israel and Palestine.  Their webinar is moving beyond words.

Moreover, the PCFF has concluded that the process of reconciliation between nations is a prerequisite to achieving a sustainable peace.
