According to Grauer School Outreach Coordinator Bill Harman, "The Grauer School has a unique connection to the Jerusalem Peacemakers dating back to 2008. It was during a Grauer School Expedition that year when we were first introduced to the organization while touring Jerusalem and Bethlehem. We were then reunited with members of the Peacemakers team during the 2010 Parliament of World Religions that took place in Melbourne, Australia. On this momentous occasion, several of the Grauer students in our delegation were able to reconnect with Peacemakers they met previously in Jerusalem. This upcoming visit to our campus by the Peacemakers is a testament to the common thread that connects students with the worldwide cultural and spiritual community --- our Grauer Expeditionary program unites people of all faiths and diversified cultures to enhance tolerance and education on a global level. We look forward to screening this film that demonstrates what is eternal about human nature and paths to future survival. "
