On July 27, 2024 a Hezbollah rocket attack killed 12 children in Majdal Shams, Israel.
To memorialize the 12 angels lost in that attack, One Free World International, Bridges For Peace, and Blue Flame 47 have come together to support the mourning Druze community to build a memorial garden at Al-Manahil School in Majdal Shams.

While the new leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, presents a moderate face to the West, the facts on the ground tell a story of escalating violence and fear. This is not a time for naive optimism, but for principled action and determined hope.

It is with sadness and deep admiration that we say goodbye to Senator John McCain, who died on Saturday, August 25. Senator McCain was a genuine champion of freedom, human dignity, and a true American hero. A consummate public service, John McCain was a passionate defender of human rights and never stopped fighting for the best of American ideals at home and around the world.
