Peres Center for Peace: Farmar Checks In From Israel

The trip serves as a follow up to Farmar’s visit to the Seeds of Peace camp in Maine last week. Seeds of Peace 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.

Farmar checked in with NBA.com and talked about his experience thus far.
