The public is invited to join Nobel Peace Prize nominee Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish, author of "I Shall Not Hate" as he shares his story of loss, faith and forgiveness:
Tuesday, December 7, from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in Theatre A of the Tupper Link, Sir Charles Tupper Medical Building, 5850 College Street, Halifax Dr. Abuelaish is a passionate and eloquent proponent of peace - despite having endured the loss of three daughters and a niece by Israeli shelling of his Gaza home in 2009. The tragedy did not harden his heart, or weaken his resolve to act for humanity. Dr. Abuelaish is a Palestinian physician who currently teaches at the Dalla Lana School of Public Heath, University of Toronto. He is visiting Halifax at the invitation of Capital Health and is available to sign copies for his book.
Admission to his talk is free, but donations are welcome to his non-profit foundation, Daughters for Life, which provides education and health care for women and girls in the middle east.
