Annual Fundraising Event 2018<br />
www.seedsofpeace.org<br />
Another impressive evening at another impressive<br />
venue. Mr Fraser and I facilitated the first visit<br />
to <strong>Cranford</strong> Community College from the Seeds<br />
of Peace organisation last year and as usual one<br />
opportunity leads to another. Following this trip<br />
a number of our students successfully applied for<br />
scholarships which enabled them to attend a Seeds<br />
of Peace residential in London. Having impressed<br />
at the residential the students were invited to attend<br />
the annual UK Seeds of Peace fundraising event<br />
Seeds of Peace fundraising event on Monday 19th<br />
November 2018 at The Berkeley in Knightsbridge<br />
and by far the nicest thing about the evening was<br />
watching Guy and Anjali excitedly catch up with<br />
the other students they had met at the residential.<br />
Memoona Yousaf (Senior Teacher - Pastoral)<br />
After very successful seminars with the international<br />
organisation Seeds of Peace, we were re-invited to<br />
another event set up at the (five-star) Berkeley Hotel<br />
in Knightsbridge. It was an evening to commemorate<br />
the achievements of the organisation in spreading<br />
peace though areas of conflict; they boasted<br />
wonderful case studies of friends meeting in unusual<br />
places such as the pair of best friends, each from<br />
the ‘enemy’ side. Seeds of Peace is the pioneer of<br />
a future of peace, and we hope to be a part of it.<br />
The best part of the evening (excluding the food)<br />
was the time which we had to talk to the different<br />
people brought together by the organisation, from<br />
all over the world, to share their stories and bring<br />
to light the many unnoticed injustices occurring<br />
around the globe. I made many new friends as well<br />
as reconvened with old ones who shared similar Seeds<br />
of Peace experiences. The people we met were those<br />
who are changing the world, and I aspire to be a one<br />
of them. Overall, we were very lucky that the school<br />
was able to take part in such an unforgettable event<br />
and we hope for more good news in the future.<br />

The venue was breath-taking, and everyone was very<br />
welcoming. After an hour of drinks, hors d’oeuvres<br />
and mingling, we proceeded to hear the speeches of<br />
other Seeds of Peace members, some of whom included<br />
counsellors and parents of members. Hearing the<br />
speeches really had an impact on me, but one speech<br />
in particular stood out to me the most; it was by two<br />
counsellors, Habeeba and Adaya, who we met at<br />
the Seeds of Peace camp in Maine and became best<br />
friends 7 years ago, despite coming from two opposite<br />
sides of a conflict region. Their friendship story was<br />
beautiful to hear because they put any differences<br />
they had aside, and are still best friends to this day.<br />
Also, it was remarkable to hear how Seeds of Peace<br />
had brought so many people together from all around<br />
the world, and how they’ve provided a platform for<br />
people to speak out about their views, which can<br />
help them in numerous ways in life. Following<br />
the speeches, there was another chance to talk<br />
to the attendees of the event, and how Seeds of<br />
Peace has shaped their lives. It was a fantastic<br />
opportunity for us to network and socialise<br />
with other Seeds of Peace members, as well as<br />
catching up with our friends from the 4-day<br />
seminar in May.<br />
