Youth links prepare to visit Palestine...

Yesterday the CADFA office was completely full of people as people in the youth links group brought along parents and friends and we all talked about the planned visit to Palestine - in fact, how to do it if Erasmus + are not able to fund it.  After lots of discussion, we decided to run the visit at the end of the year after the exams, to allow time to fundraise.

Today people came back to talk more about it and to make plans for the fundraising - A challenge we will meet!! 

Below...why we want to visit Palestine. And below that, what we are going to do about it...

Why do we want to visit Palestine?

By CADFA Youth Links

To learn about Palestinian culture

To understand Palestinian life

To learn more about Palestinian restriictions and their treatment

To actually see the things we’ve learned about for example checkpoing and the Wall

To see different things and places

To visit Jerusalem

To see the Dead Sea

To see the people we met again

To learn more Arabic and teach some English

To eat Palestinian food

To come home and be able to tell our own stories and experiences

And what we are going to do about it...

• A sponsored walk on CADFA's birthday 4th October.
• A Palestine festival on UN Children's Day 20th November.
• A jumble sale (date to be decided)
• Making fundraising pages
