Abu Dis boys preparing

Thank you very much to the people who helped our group put in their visa applications (see below - the problem for all Palestinians at the moment is severe). They went to Ramallah on Wednesday, did fingerprints and gave in their applications, and we very much hope that they will be here on time.

Here's a picture of the boys (young men) from Abu Dis who will be joining the visit to London preparing pictures and presentations to bring with them, to tell people in the UK about their lives in Palestine. The picture was taken today in Dar Assadaqa, the community centre CADFA supports there, which is based in an old Palestinian house.

The group is going to include six school students - these four and two from Beit Leed village - and three men. All boys and men this time - why not? CADFA often hear the voices of women.

Hey Qais, Saleh, Anas and Adam (and everyone else in the group), we're looking forward to hearing what you have to tell us!
