Following a tourist visit to Jerusalem in March of 2007 where we spent time with family, myself and my fiance Camilla were given the opportunity to re-visit Jerusalem to do advocacy work for a charity.
The charity have been working on a project with the farmers of Beit Jala (a village in Bethlehem) to help them maintain and work their farm lands following the construction of an Israeli sceurity wall.
During our stay, as well as touring the area extensively we will interview a series of stakeholders in this project to assess the impact the work has had on the lives of the people affected by the building of the wall.
This blog will diarise each day we are there and will include personnal views on the experiences we have. These views are not in any way endorsed by the charity.
