This is what Students for International Development want to support.
This is our goal.
This is our dream.
This type of event is where we want to be sending our donations.
As a member of SID club, you are expected to be an active participant that is willing to go above and beyond the simple role of a "member." We want you to be involved in the work and the efforts we make towards helping others and fundraising at events. Here are photos of SID club members participating in service projects, meetings, and Food Fest. Currently, we are preparing for Fall 2009 Food Fest as well--and this is our time to shine and raise as much money as possible for our next big project! Please, join us!
On behalf of PeacePlayers International – Middle East (PPI-ME), I would like to thank you and all members of the Brigham Young University – Hawaii Students for International Development (SID) Club for your fundraising efforts and generous donation of $1,000 to the PPI-ME program.
Your contribution helped enable PPI-ME to organize and host our 2009 Annual Spring Tournament, the capstone event of the programming season. This year’s tournament, held at an outdoor sports facility in Tel Aviv, brought together over 200 Arab and Jewish children from across Israel for a day of basketball, team building exercises and fun games. The SID Club donation was instrumental in funding tournament stations such as tug of war, puzzle building, water balloons and trampoline, all “off the court” teamwork activities that allowed the youth to have fun and get better acquainted with one another.
The Annual Spring Tournament is an important part of the programming year, as the positive experience it provides helps further the PPI-ME mission of uniting youth from different backgrounds. All children participate in the day’s activities as part of an integrated team made up of PeacePlayers from a wide range of communities, creating a unique atmosphere of basketball and coexistence. When asked about her experience at the 2009 Spring Tournament, Nastiya, a PeacePlayer from the Jewish community of Bet Shemesh, replied that:
"We played with girls from other teams and made new friends. I really like Siwi and Miriam from Beit Safafa. I learned I'm supposed to play under the basket, too, from Coach Samer. The best part was the basketball and I learned to see the other side of the girls, they are really nice, and not just listen to what people in my community say about Arab people. People are not like everyone says they are."
On behalf of all the children who participated in the 2009 Spring Tournament, PeacePlayers International - Middle East would like to thank you for your generous gift. Your contribution to our program has made an impact and helped us to continue working to bridge divides.
Sincerely,
PeacePlayers International - Middle East
I love SID! I am so happy to see this club continued! SID is the club that allows our passion and vision to come together and initiate action to “make the changes we want to see in the world!” (Gandhi) We have endured many challenges, especially with the school policy, but all these experiences helped us to grow, be united, and see positive changes at BYU-Hawaii. Each member of SID is a President. This is one of the important concepts of SID. It has a lot of potential to grow, become more organized, and improve. Please help each other and suggest any cool idea you may have. I hope that you all will keep rocking (more!) and that we can keep in touch.
With much aloha, Saeko Yamashtia
