New York (February 10, 2009) – Seeds of Peace ( www.seedsofpeace.org),
a nonprofit aimed at promoting peace through
youth leadership programs, will hold the ‘Peace
Market’ on February 19th at Cipriani Wall
Street. Business leader and philanthropist
Ivanka Trump will attend and serve as Honorary
Chairperson. The event is hosted by the Young
Leadership Committee, a volunteer group of young
professionals whose mission is to promote Seeds
of Peace across a variety of industries in New
York City, and other major cities across

In the wake of horrific attacks in Mumbai, India
as well as the recent crisis in Gaza and
southern Israel, it is more important than ever
to promote dialogue among young people and
between supposed “enemies.” Seeds of Peace
operates in the Middle East (Jerusalem, Tel
Aviv, Ramallah, Gaza, Cairo, Amman) and South
Asia (Kabul, Mumbai, Lahore) to bring young
people together from opposite sides of conflict
for face-to-face coexistence programs.
