Hope in Ramallah

Hope in Ramallah

11. August 2015

After experiencing Bethlehem yesterday we started our day by crossing two checkpoints to get to Ramallah. We first visited the Lutheran Church of Hope and the School. Afterwards the German group went to the German Representative Office to discuss some issues with Mrs. Claudia Busch.
When we went back to the church, lunch was ready. Not being hungry anymore put us in the mood for playing some „ice-breaking games“. During the following freetime we got to meet and to know Palestinian youths from the Church of Hope in a better way. Then we headed to the city centre to go around Ramallah and have some fun. We ate some icecream whilst walking to the Memorial Tomb of Yassir Arafat where the bus was already waiting for us. We got to know a lot about the place before crossing another three checkpoints to get back to Talitha Kumi.
After this beautiful and exhausting day getting back to Talitha was a good chance to realx before having dinner and getting together in our internal group meetings to discuss the last few days.

It was an amazing day and we are (again) looking forward to the next few days!

Hind, Annette & Lisa
