For the kids

Just so you know... This is just one of the comments on what a good group you are... From the Woodcraft Folk who came with us to Brighton today...

"Thanks for bringing such lovely people ... The Palestinians and the Camden kids were such an impressive set of young people ... We went home talking about how we found them all so kind and friendly....We also talked about how the Palestinians were really kind to the baby - one of the boys just picked him up and hugged him...that doesn't happen often with young men who aren't related to him and it was so nice! So we had a lovely day and left with great impressions of the kids..."

Well done you. I hope you know that we all think you are great, too!

Just some from the workshop day...





























Oh no, it's the last day





























We are really going to miss our friends when they go tomorrow - But it was a great last day! Brighton and the sea...

Saturday update

To families in Abu Dis

Sorry it is taking so long to get the photos on the blog. Our days are very full and it is usually very late before any of us can find a computer.

I just want to tell you that your sons and daughters are all very well and I think all of them are happy. They are doing so much and they are seeing lots of new things.

They have visited lots of schools and met lots of new people. Today we had a workshop for them and British young people. There were talks, art work and dabkeh. They said it was a good day. Tomorrow we are going to the seaside.

We will try and get some more pictures on here before they leave - but if not, we will send the pictures back with them.

All best wishes from London,

Nandita

To families in Abu Dis: you can be proud of your sons and daughters - They are lovely, and they are all doing very well! More very soon
Best wishes, Nandita

MASSIVE THANK YOU

We are still in the middle of the visit, but I want to say a massive thank you to all those people who are working so reliably in so many different ways and we can now definitely say that they are making this visit A SUCCESS!

What a brilliant week it has been... fantastic events, great school visits, lots of fun... And it hasn't finished yet! Hurray!

See you in the next couple of days if you are in Camden, then! Nandita

Cloud pictures

The weather has been really hot (for London) - On Monday, these were some of the clouds that started and grew, and then there was a huge thunderstorm during the performance in the evening....
