here it is.
Dear friends,
People supporting peace in Cyprus created a new independent N.G.O.
called C.O.R.E. (the Committee for Organizing Rapprochement Events).
Please take a moment to read about what we are about.
RAPPROCHEMENT EVENT-AIM
Several events take place annually. People get together; people from both communities. These events are trying to show that both communities of
Cyprus want a united Cyprus. However, is the attendance high? The answer
is unfortunately no. Not many people are willing to get involved in such
events.
Even so, what if there was a large festival? Music, food, games and more!
What if something really amazing was to take place? What if the youth
especially, was targeted to get influenced positively by this whole thing?
In that case, that would definitely bring some change here in Cyprus. This
is why we want to set up a huge, a brilliant event in the buffer zone.
Bringing people from both communities and of all generations together.
The main aim of this event is to prove that people from both communities
are able to cooperate and set up something incredible. We promote
friendship, peace and the use of non-violence. Thus, this idea came up. If
we were to set up a festival which will raise awareness over our issue
with our separation, then something positive could come out of this. We
actually do have a permission from the United Nations to set up the event.
Most probably, the event will take place during late August-early
September. Even so, a lot of planning needs to be done from now so that we
have a successful event later on. We will dedicate to this, so that we
entertain and inform people that we do not want to be separated.
Also, this cause has no politics involved and it is non-profit.
If you would like more information or would like to help us out please

C.O.R.E.
