My guess is that IYL might mean *"International Youth League"* ? Or “International Youth leadership” both sound great for everyone.
Lisa added,” I would like to recommend Nada Dalgamouni to *"Greater Unity Network"* as a member . I advised *Corin Smith*, who helped to start all of this (he is the one who came up with the idea of doing a *"Tree of Peace and Reconciliation"* tree planting ceremony to bring people together in Peace... and toward *Reconciliation and FORGIVENESS*). He is also the one who organized these events:

Here another wonderful activist:
Saleem Talbot (Imam of the Bermuda Islamic Cultural Center), the Rt Rev Nicholas Dill (Bishop of Bermuda) and Dr Fiona Elkinson (President of the Jewish Community of Bermuda) came together with a small group of community members to show their support for the *X-Roads of the City Peace Initiative* that was precipitated by the New Year's Eve 2020 Candlelight Peace Vigil.
The gathering was organized in formal observance of the beginning of the 10th Annual United Nations *World Interfaith Harmony Week*, as well as Vision 2020's campaign to plant 2,020 trees by the end of this year. The leaders all participated in the planting of a Loquat *Tree of Peace & Reconciliation* at the emerging ‘park of forgiveness' that is being nurtured at the corner of Court and Dundonald Streets - the “cartographic crossroads” of the City between “uptown and downtown” Bermuda.

*Bermuda Committee On Human Fraternity*
“Bermuda will be used as a global laboratory to promote the sustained spirit of *unity among world peoples* that will be required to overcome these challenges.
“Today marks the first part of this process of *goodwill and Peacemaking* which will continue with a *tree planting ceremony* for *reconciliation and peace* on May 24 at Government House in celebration of the Ramadan Eid Al Fitr, the fifth anniversary of the Laudato Si encyclical of Pope Francis, the birthday of Queen Victoria, US Memorial Day Weekend and the spirit of African Unity Day.
“All peoples will be encouraged to engage their own tree of reconciliation and peace in celebration of this unique moment in modern history.”

https://www.facebook.com/GovtHouseBDA/posts/2935505213201407. On Sunday 24 May Governor John Rankin was pleased to welcome to Government House a number of religious leaders on the island. Together they planted a tree to symbolize the harmony and tolerance between the different religious communities.
Governor Rankin welcomed the way that Christians, Muslims and Jewish people live in a spirit of tolerance and mutual respect in Bermuda. He noted that the island could be an example for other parts of the world and that it was particularly important at this time of the COVID-19 outbreak to work together. Those attending were the *Roman Catholic Bishop* of Hamilton in Bermuda, Emir Saleem Talbot from the *Muslim Community*, the *Anglican Bishop* of Bermuda and Fiona and Jeffrey Elkinson from the *Jewish Community*.

Note: We are also Corin's *"Bubble Tekhen" Monument* project in *Windsor, Ontario*, which is *right across the river* from Detroit!
Once again I think that Nada would probably make a good member of the *"Practical Reconciliation"* team, which I helped in starting and will lead all the groups involved to explore and adapt her “Global Peace Education Movement” which started in America by her foundation:www.theworldinamerica.world. A multimedia and multicultural service focused on global learning and cultural awareness programs. TWIA is an Umbrella to over a hundred cultures worldwide. Looking forward to involving Nada Dalgamouni and her team in The Bermuda Peace Initiative.
