My Israel-Palestine forum Unity is Strength became the first Space on Quora.com to receive a grant from an external organization. The grant came from Sustainable Israel-Palestine Projects (SIPP). Now I’m supposed to give a short talk to the donors tomorrow about the project. It’s exciting. I need to step back and stay prepared…
