Free Palestine


This week I have been to a fantastic and very moving exhibition featuring art works inspired by Palestinian women. The exhibition is still on until 20 September at Amnesty International UK building. The artist is Paula Cox - a great woman who has been travelling around the world and decided to focus her work on Palestine. She has been there 5 times now and will go back soon to organise workshops in the Occupied Territories. That exhibition was also a time for me to say good luck to my colleague - Sophia - who is going there on a peace mission with the Quakers. Lots of emotions... lots of hope that one day Palestians will be free from oppression. That evening I also met people from Solidarity for Palestine Campaign. Go and check their site! www.palestinecampaign.org. They do an important work here, reminding us here that help is still needed over there. Peace.

Oh I nearly forgot to tell you about the Palestian Olive Oil... not to be missed. I had a chance to try some at the exhibition. You can get some here in London and help the locals in Palestine to live from their work. Visit www.zaytoun.org
