IN MEMORIAM: JOHN PATERSON BOYER, 1945-2022

Oneblue mourns the passing of its Co-founder, John Boyer, on Friday October 21, 2022. A husband, father, colleague, and tireless ambassador for fostering understanding among people.

John, we will always remember this as your favorite picture: the Earthrise from the moon by the Apollo 8 in 1968. Our namesake - one single, unified, blue planet.

And we will fondly recall this quote as one you lived by:
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has” ~ Margaret Mead

Thank you for a life well-lived in the service of humanity.

Rest in Peace, dear John. We will miss you.

DC area folks! Join the important work of Healing Across The Divides in providing improved health to marginalized Palestinian and Israeli communities.

HATD is hosting a moderated discussion on its ground activities led by Nehad Fattah of the West Bank and Patrick Levy of Israel, as they assist local organizations in facilitating the provision of vital health and mental services to all those in need.

Register here for the November 13th Washington DC event: https://healingdivides.org/

Who is Healing Across The Divides?
- "We are committed to improving the health of marginalized Israelis and all Palestinians. We bring groups together, when possible, to exchange ideas and to work together. We seek to increase the capacity and efficiency of these local groups. Our method of working to improve health represents a pathway to peace building. HATD is the only non-profit that provides funding and technical advice on health to both Palestinian and Israeli communities; and the only one that fosters cooperation between groups – a critical difference in these challenging times."
