Comments from former participants:
“An incredible 10 days – life changing! We met people living in the midst of immense struggle yet they were engaged in life-giving work. People trusted us and told their stories. We saw signs of hope and courage. It was inspiring to see creative and innovative responses to the restrictions of the occupation. The Palestinian people we met showed such spirit and refused to be victims.”
