FPT Europe was delighted to welcome AVP-Palestine and AVP-Sulaimaniya (northern Iraq) and change our name to FPT Europe and Middle East. We will share our work Ukraine, North Caucasus, Palestine, Israel ad Kurdistan. Identities in these regions can be a mix of nationalities, ethnicities, languages, genders and classes. Any of these factors can become the basis for identifying others as enemies or developing stereotyped negative self-images. Programs like Alternative to Violence Project, Creating Cultures of Justice and Peace, and Power of Goodness are bridges for these divides and help participants relate to others as human beings with shared hopes and concerns. The insistent bravery of Palestinians and Israelis sustains our faith for justice and peace in the Middle East. Kurdish youth from northern Iraq rise above daily pressures to rebuild their communities. Unable to depend on the government or economy, we have turned to creating our own youth support network founded on AVP principles. 48745 0 9614 273658 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 8 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 NY X Barbara Todd 3145881122 1001 Park Avenue Saint Louis MO 63104 Barbara Todd Office manager-bookkeeper 20.0 X 18833 0 0 Fenna Mandolang Co-Clerk 2.0 X 0 0 0 Melanie Siaw Co-Clerk 2.0 X 0 0 0 Caroline Marti Assistant Treasurer 2.0 0 X 0 0 0 Mary Beth Neal Recording clerk 2 X 0 0 0 Mark Hoover Treasurer 2.0 X 0 0 0 18833 0 0 0 0 0 0 480443 480443 0 2045 2045 0 0 0 0 0 482488 2045 0 0 18833 18833 107220 107220 1441 1441 3371 3371 598 598 25094 25094 12861 12861 3777 3777 1238 1238 AGLI 199875 199875 0 AWP 14782 14782 0 PLA 10256 10256 0 TRR-Europe-PoG 48745 48745 0 448091 273658 174433 0 303406 337855 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 303406 337855 655 707 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 655 707 X 204745 253222 98006 83926 302751 337148 303406 337855 34397 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 297905 380207 357167 508523 480443 2024245 297905 380207 357167 508523 480443 2024245 2024245 178 164 -135 1387 2045 3639 178 164 -135 1387 2045 3639 298083 380371 357032 509910 482488 2027884 0.99821 0.99911 0.00179 0.00089 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 482488 0 0 0 0 0 482488 0 0 0 482488 448091 0 0 0 0 0 448091 0 0 0 448091 Europe (including Iceland and Greenland) 1 1 Program Services FPT Europe: The peace work of FPT Europe Team is primarily focused in the post-Soviet Union areas of Ukraine and the North Caucasus.
