      Join Bay Area families and thousands worldwide -- side by side, Palestinians, Jews, everyone -- in a safe, child-friendly place. We will meet in good spirit and fly kites for freedom and security for all in the Middle East. We will send a message of strong support for the 45,000 Israeli and Palestinian families who have already registered for this action to fly tens of thousands of colored kites painted with messages of peace soaring on May 20th into the Holy Land skies -- north to south, east to west. IMAGINE 10,000 kites, and add yours.
      10,000 Kites~Talking Kites is on the Web in Israel/Palestine (in Arabic, Hebrew, and English) at http://www.talkingkites.org.il , and in North America, at http://www.10000kites.org. Read even more about 10,000 Kites~Talking Kites on the local host Dialogue Group's Web site, then see some fine photos of children flying kites.
