The first two days of their arrival, Dries and Steffi have been welcomed and entertained by the members of Baladna. (Photo: members of Baladna, some of their friends, Steffi and Dries)
When the president of Um4p arrived (second photo), Hannah (upper photo on the left) welcomed the group and showed them to the hostel.
The roof of the hostel proved to be a major chill out location.
On Monday and Tuesday when we were getting to know each other and each others organizations we often ventured on the sunny balcony outside the office of sadaka reut for a break or to the restaurant across the street for lunch.
On Tuesday Hannah gave us a political tour of Jaffa and its surroundings.
The tour had a little break on the beach.
During the tour we saw a lot of open spaces where there used to be Palestinian homes or new buildings and buildings that are being constructed on spaces where there used to be Palestinian homes.
On Wednesday we were guided by Omri (fist picture) and other members (second picture) of Sadaka reut's commune to Jerusalem.
When we arrived in Jerusalem we received a guided tour by ICHAD of East Jerusalem and the separation wall.
During the tour we made a few stops with beautiful sights which gave for a good overview along with the explanation of the guide.
We also stopped along the seperation wall.
After the tour we went to a museum of which we have no pictures.
Last on our program for the day was a visit to the old city of Jerusalem.
In the old city we visited the burial place of Jezus Christ.
We also visited the wailing wall, an important religious symbol for the jewish community.
On Thursday we went to the desert to have a guide explain the fate of the unrecognized villages of the Bedouin.
We also went to a village elder to hear he's testimony about the fate of the Bedouin.
Of the last two days there are no more pictures available. because we were working so hard and any pictures would have been of us around a table with papers.
