THIS IS A WEB PAGE DEDICATED TO THE FOLLOWING AGENDA:

TELLING THE STORIES AND EXPERIENCES I HAD ON MY PEACEMAKING DELEGATION TO ISRAEL/ PALESTINE, WITH THE CHRISTIAN PEACEMAKER TEAMS IN NOVEMBER 2010.

PERSONAL STATEMENT UPON MY RETURN:


    I went to Israel/ Palestine to make and help efforts toward a sustainable peace. I made it my personal agenda to "KNOW THE FACES", which meant  knowing the faces of those who are constantly in our media, spoken about in our Christian theology, etc..this has enabled me to understand the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, whether it's the unrecognized villages of the Bedouins in the Negev or the heavy military presence in Al Khalil.
   I am burdened by the demolished homes, illegal settlement expansions, and the inhumane (seemingly systematic destruction) treatment of the Palestinian people, yet I remain optimistic and inspired by Palestinian groups such as The Holy Land Trust, Israeli groups such as ICAHD and Breaking the Silence, as well as international supporters.
