FIRST DAY

Hi! Short because it's freezing! Today we were at the university. So tranquil apart from army raids, often on a friday. Many young women, so good to see. Then the wall, how can there be any talk of normalization with that abhorence in place? Then Abed, who is soo communicative, told us we were stood on the rubble of a demolished home. Felt sick....

Very happy that everyone has arrived safe and well

The picture is of another group, another time. Their memories of their visit were dramatic and good and bad... Look forward to hearing yours... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is to wish the Spring 2019 group a good, strong, useful and momorable trip. Well, the first big hurdle has passed ... or rather, the first two. The first one was getting the group built, settled and ready and that was done  some time ago. It has been a pleasure to meet a very varied group of people.  I am sure everyone has areas of skill and knowledge different from each other and I hope this will become a good group! And I think so. The second hurdle was getting there! I know that a number of you were worried about this though I had no doubt - It is always made difficult at the airport, but really you were all going to be fine .... And so you are all there after your long journeys, and the adventure begins!
