On Monday, September 30th, 2024 Our House students had the incredible honor to speak with Elad Vazana, an educator, artist, and peacebuilder from Israel who was on-island for The Nantucket Project. He shared with us his life-story and the inspiring social justice work that he believes so deeply in. Elad has dedicated the past 23 years of his life to introducing Palestinians and Israelis of diverse backgrounds, and encouraging them to find connections and reconciliation in shared interest and channels of expression such as art, music, and nature. We are so grateful to Elad for taking the time to speak with us and offer us his friendship by asking that we keep in touch.

Several of our students had the opportunity to attend the Nantucket Project as Our House fellows over the weekend. The 2024 theme of TNP was Healing. We are so grateful for the chance to share this life-changing experience with some of our students.
