Meet Nicholas Harami

When Nicolas is not going to school, doing homework or studying for exams, he spends his free time at the Arab Orthodox Union Club. Because of the ongoing political tension in Jerusalem and the West Bank, young people have a very limited choice of leisure activities. A lot of teens end up just staying home, watching television and renting old movies. Nicolas is lucky that his family is active in the Union Club because he has more opportunities to participate in activities such as Scouts, basketball and even learning to play the bagpipes! When he heard about Cyber Bridges, Nicolas was among the first to express interest. "I think Cyber Bridges is a good beginning for youth who want to be agents for peace and become global leaders," he said. "Teenagers can change the harmful attitudes people have towards one another and can serve as models of what right relationships should be."

Nicolas' mission is to show the world that solidarity can transform the world. He believes that with understanding and cooperation we can build peace and love in the world.
