Explore Cooperation Circles

MADA (Horizon) CC

For women to bring their hearts together, to create peace locally within our community and our religions, to strengthen women religiously and create cooperation among the religions in our local community.

We live in a local community where there is often violence based on mistrust and fear between the different religious groups. We see that women can meet together to learn about religions within our community and create harmony together and have a positive influence on our families and larger social circles. We have held regular meetings for four years in different religious groups to get to know each other and our customs so as to support women to create calm and harmony between religious groups in our community. Recently we held a large meeting with deep discussion about our religious holidays – sharing customs and rituals. We hold regular meetings with Jewish women’s groups from other communities to strengthen connections between women in our local region and country - from Tel Aviv and Jerusalem -- and to learn more about other religions. We are a program within the Daliat Ha Carmel Community Center and therefore are part of the Israeli National Community Center system and have access to meet regularly with the twenty other Arab community centers, and the many Jewish community centers.

Manipur URI CC

To promote and uphold the URI purpose as stated in the URI charter.

Description: We have been working to fulfill the URI Charter and PPP to strengthen interfaith cooperation by way of worshiping God through prayer, rituals and discussions about URI's concept at each community's sacred worshiping place, ie, masjid, Church, Gurudwar, etc. This continues the process and also helps membership and fund drives. We are a major constituent of the Manipur Peace Committee, which was formed in the June 2001 uprising and has the same goal as that of URI. We made a timely appeal to those concerned including India's Prime Minister for restoring peace and communal harmony among Hindus and Muslims, who were responsible for creating the Godhara Carnage which claimed many lives of women and children and thousands of rupees' worth of property.
