Galilee United Football Team - Scoring a Goal for Peace

The Helen Doron Group, in conjunction with the famous London-based Arsenal Football Club, lends its support to a unique project - an Arab-Jewish youth football team. 13 and 14-year old students (from 6 Jewish communities and 6 Arab and Druze communities in Northern Israel) are participating in this year's exciting cross-cultural project.

We're happy to be a part of an initiative that gives young people the opportunity to share their love of sport while at the same time developing new social bonds and friendships across the cultural divide. All the boys in the project socialize as a cohesive group. They play together, eat together and room communally when on tour.

Their commitment to one another and their love of the game really paid off in England last year, as they qualified up to the semi-finals in Arsenal's international youth football tournament. They were also selected as the team that demonstrated the "Best Sportsmanship” by their peers.

This project continues to grow in scope and judging by the boys' genuine commitment to their team and warm relations with their teammates, Galilee United is a shining example how we can foster peace on a grassroots level.
