Dear Friends,
Some of you already know that I have been accepted by the International Women for Peace Services to serve as witness in Palestine during the olive harvest.
It is the same organization that Anna Baltzer works for. I will know more about it when I am there, my preliminary understanding of the function of a volunteer is to document human rights violations by the Israeli government and/or act as a support person for the mission and publicize as much as possible
In case you were wondering I have to finance my trip myself. I expect to be in Palestine for about 3 months from September to December.
Before going to Palestine I have decided to go to Pakistan. I'll be leaving on May 23rd and expect to be back in the US next March. This is the first time I'll be in Pakistan for that long since I came to this country 30 some years ago.
In addition to helping my sister in educating women about their rights in Islam, I hope to start some education program in villages where there are no schools or street kids. i have been thinking along these lines for quite some time and at the moment these are just ideas, what come to fruition and what form it takes remains to be seen.
I'll try to keep you updated as much as possible.
Thank you for listening
