Suddenly close - the third youth exchange of the Ma'an project will be this month, and arrangements are well on the way.
Our UK and French participants are finding the timing a bit difficult as it is right at the beginning of the university term... We are going to lose some old particpants and have some new ones, who are very welcome.
These pictures remind us of some of the activities that took place in France last October, in Palestine last April (and in between)...Soon we'll have another set of memories.
We've set up a time for a Skype meeteing between us all this Sunday - We know that is difficult for some of you too but it will be a good start for preparation for the new groups.
We have the air tickets for our Palestinian friends and the rail tickets for everyone to the first weekend residential...that will be a really long day and a long journey, specially for the Palestinians - but we think it will be worth it when they get there...
We have some great partners and we are looking forward to all sorts of interesting activities in Knighton, Llanidloes, Malvern, Worcester, Kettering, Northampton, Islington and Camden - and to working once again with Dragonhall Youth Group in Soapbox media centre.
We're working on publicity for a number of public meetings and the materials for workshops and... getting everything ready to go.
If you are one of the participants for this visit, it will be good to see you! And if you are in the UK and not a participant, we hope to see you during the visit, perhaps at one of the public meetings...
Maan-Together again soon - Looking forward!
