' Dear Friends,   As you know, I spent many years closely involved with Hasbara Fellowships. Since my time at Concordia University as a student and activist, I realized that to truly affect change for Israel it had to come from the grassroots level - and that has always meant with the students themselves. This is exactly how Hasbara Fellowships works.  It\'s now been 10 years since the first Hasbara Fellowships training in Israel, of which I was a participant. I then went on to work for Hasbara as it\'s first campus coordinator. Since then we have brought over 2,500 students to Israel for its highly sophisticated Israel activism training program.    Hasbara is now planning even larger growth in the coming years thanks to a new partnership with Israel\'s Foreign Ministry. I have been asked to be an Honoree in their Tenth Anniversary fundraising campaign, and to therefore reach out to alumni and friends. Please make a contribution now so that they can continue to fight the increasingly important battle for Israel\'s image, dignity, and survival.   I made my contribution, now please make yours.   Thank you, Patrick Amar Hasbara Fellowships Alumni, Winter 2001  Hasbara Fellowships Campus Coordinator, 2002-2005'
