Review for Operation Understanding DC, Washington, DC, USA
This is a wonderful organization. My daughter participated five years ago and it was a life changing experience for her. The Black and Jewish kids in the program were extraordinary and I have no doubt that OUDC achieved its goal of forging a new understanding and commitment from them that has influenced their work and community leadership. My daughter, for example, learned from OUDC that her activism could matter and she has been involved as a leader on her campus in promoting understanding and civil dialogue about Israel-related issues. OUDC operates on the assumption that individuals change the world - it equips these young people to be agents of change. A great cause.
