Ordinary People/Extraordinary Outcomes Award 2006

On May 12, 2006, Nola Drazdoff was presented with the Ordinary People, Extraordinary Outcomes Award, by Wisdom University. The award was presented at the Sacred Activism Conference in Seattle Washington.

Nola was chosen for this award because of her commitment to her calling to travel the world as an ambassador for non-violence, spiritual and cultural bridge-building and respect for all.

She delights in traveling and leading others in tours all around the globe. Her emphasis is on helping all those she leads on trips, and those they encounter along the way to recognize the unity that connects all beings while honoring the beauty in their diversity.

Her work in the Middle East, particularly in Israel and Palestine, has helped countless people. Whether she is talking with school children, counseling grieving mothers and victims of violence, writing to women in war torn countries, mentoring teenagers or delivering needed medical supplies to marginalized villages, Nola brings a special presence of peace and harmony into the midst of difficulty and conflict. Her energy and warmth opens doors and builds bridges. No matter where she is or who she is with, Nola seeks to communicate the precious value in each person she encounters, especially those who are most marginalized and disenfranchised. Her presence makes the world a better and more peaceful place.
