I'll be leaving for Palestine in a couple of weeks and I intend to post regularly what I'm seeing, doing and learning. I'll also be posting photos if I retain the lessons Heather is teaching me as I approach this journey. This will be my first time back to Palestine or anywhere else in the Middle East since 1998.
I'll be staying with my friend Khitam Edelbi in East Jerusalem. Khitam is a bright and energetic Palestinian who spent several summers working in our summer program at The Theater Project and then visiting while she completed a BA and continued for an MA in Creative Arts Therapy at Lesley University in Cambridge. She is a remarkable woman, a good friend and she has returned to do good work with young people and adults in Palestine. She's also about to get married, she and Ahmad. I'm excited and delighted that I'll be there for their wedding.
So, if this interests you, start checking this blog around October 24. I'm not sure yet what path I'll be taking to Tel Aviv, so I don't know yet when I'll arrive.

ReplyDeleteHi all, that was a test. I said I couldn't wait to follow Al's adventures and then he promptly deleted my comment. I didn't write anything inappropriate, just a test of the emergency comment editing system. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI still can't wait to read all about it!
