I am attending the Middle East International Political Camp, organized by the Alternative Information Center.
The AIC introduces a group of international participants to the socio-political realities of the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) and Israel.

participants to the first political camp

The bridges built both among the participants and between the group and local organizations are the first step in creating a group of people committed to raising awareness of the situation in the OPT and Israel. It is now time to take action and bring 30 more participants to see with their own eyes the implications of the occupation and the struggle for freedom and peace.

I am joining a workcamp in the LAJEE refugee center. Lajee Center (‘lajee’ means ‘refugee’ in Arabic), was established in Aida Camp in April 2000 by a group of 11 young people from the Camp who wanted to serve the community. It is an independent, Palestinian, non-governmental organization, registered with the Ministry of NGO Affairs of the Palestinian National Authority in 2001. The main aim of the Center is to provide refugee youth with cultural, educational, social and developmental opportunities. Its programs are designed in response to the particular needs of the children and the skills and abilities of its members.
