Life is no brief candle for me. It is sort of a splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations. George Bernard Shaw

Friends We want to take this chance to thank all of those who supported Aswat in many various ways, women and groups. For those who joined our journey in taking our first steps, and others who shared their knowledge to help us find our path.   Our first thanks goes to the women of Aswat: without their unconditional support and efforts, we would not exist. Second, to Terry Greenblatt, our mentor, who helped us to lay the foundations on which we have built Aswat.  To Safaa’ Tamish-Bargouthi, who helped us to lay our first educational and public outreach basis and helped us in reaching out to many groups and individuals in our community. To Kayan- Feminist Organization, who took us under their wings. To Haifa’s Women Coalition and Isha L'Isha- Haifa for supporting our work. To Al-Tufula Center-Nazareth, for giving a legitimacy to our work and existence. To SWANABAQ (South West Asian, North African Bay Area Queers), for their continuous support and for empowering our work.   To Quit (Queer Undermining Israeli Terrorism), for supporting our work. To The Coalition of Women for Peace, for their continuous support and for empowering our work. To Shatil for their organizational consulting and guidance.
