Dear All, twelve of us visited Palestine in May with CADFA. We were deeply affected by the generosity and dignity of the Palestinian People despite the appalling conditions of occupation which they are forced to live in. CADFA is organising a trip for young Palestinians to visit the UK in October. We hope that you will consider donating so that this becomes a reality.

CADFA says....

CADFA's Building Hope | Voices from Palestine project brings regular visits of Palestinians to the UK in order to speak out about their lives and encourage people to work for human rights. This includes safe and well-organised visits of young people.

This year we aim to bring 16 young people (boys and girls) to the UK in October to meet young people from the UK, share experiences together and tell each other about their lives.

The visitors will be young people who have taken part in Zoom links with schools in the UK and joined the Beyond the Checkpoints youth advocacy project in Palestine in the summer. They will have a varied programme inclucing the chance to meet their Zoom friends in person.

Young people in Palestine growing up under military occupation and apartheid are confined by checkpoints, military walls and camps, no-go areas around Israeli settlementsand severely affected by systematic violations of human rights and the daily stories of child prisoners and people hurt or even killed by military violence.

We know from previous visits what an amazing experience this visit will be for the young Palestinian visitors and a real eye-opener for young people in Britain who will meet and join activities with them.

We used to run similar projects with EU money which is no longer available to us, so we are dependent on our friends' efforts to create this special opportunity for the young people in both countries.

Thank you for any help you can give.
