Hi Everyone,
Yesterday the pupils at ORT Abu Krinat and El Hoashallah Bedouin
schools in the Negev were privileged to host FODfest, the Friends of
Daniel Pearl, now on tour here. I was honored to join them on stage
and in the classroom for this special event which, in the spirit of
Daniel Pearl, focused on tolerance and respect for the "other" through
music, the universal language.
The pupils were prepared for the event in advance; they learned about
Daniel Pearl and also studied the lyrics of songs in the program which
gave them the opportunity to be active participants.They sang,
listened and some asked questions. Most were very enthusiastic and I'm
sure richer now for the experience.
Daniel Pearl was an American journalist murdered in Afghanistan.
Daniel believed in the power of music to bring people together despite
their differences. Todd Mack, FODfest manager, played in a band with
Daniel and is behind this project.
