"The extent of violence in the Middle East is totally unacceptable and initiatives at promoting nonviolence and peace need to be supported by the world. In this regard, therefore, I together with the Gandhi Development Trust and the Satyagraha-In Pursuit of Truth Management Committee fully support the Sulha Peace Project's initiative to train nonviolent workers. We appreciate your mission and know that you are working in the most difficult conditions. We pray that you are given the strength and courage to continue the work despite the raging violence. The voice of peace and wisdom will have to be heard. God Bless you" - Ela Gandhi
"If humankind is to survive as a civilized society it is important that we give up the barbaric ways of violence and adopt the more peaceful and humane methods of conflict resolution rooted in nonviolence. Sulha is a universally accepted peaceful way of dialogue that must be rooted in respect, understanding, acceptance and appreciation. My Institution and I extend our warm good wishes for the success of your attempt to bring back sanity in a world torn by strife and insanity."
