We'll be sure and follow up with Jordan on this when he returns. It sounds like quite a trip. But for now, here's the release:

Los Angeles Lakers guard Jordan Farmar, in partnership with the Peres Center for Peace, will be hosting basketball clinics for Israeli and Palestinian children in Israel from August 4-11,2008. The trip will serve as a follow up to Farmar's visit in 2006 to the Seeds of Peace camp in Maine. This program uses sports to bring together Israeli and Palestinian children. The children play different sports together, and discuss the shared problems and challenges in their daily lives.
