These are just some of the things happening in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) on any given day. However, many things are not reported on. I will be in Palestine as an observer, trying to make such incidents more visible. There will be more pro-active tasks as well, like English lessons in villages and refugee camps. But my main objective is to observe and intervene when possible, and to do advocacy work both during my stay and when I come home.
