Aaron from Toronto reflects on his experiences with Holy Land Trust.
 Coming to Bethlehem through the Holy Land Trust was a life changing experience for me. As a Canadian Jew, I felt that it was important to see firsthand what life was like for Palestinians in the West Bank. Setting everything up was very straightforward. Through an email correspondence with the HLT offices I arranged a two-week stay with a host family living in Bethlehem and decided to volunteer with Al Kul Television, assisting with video editing.

Mariam spent the early summer working with Holy Land Trust as part of her master’s program in peace studies. Although back at home, she is already missed.
 It’s been just over a week since I got back from the West Bank and the beautiful town of Bethlehem. It’s amazing how 6 weeks can totally destabilise 23 years of a way of life. I’ve had the strangest time trying to readjust and as one friend put it, am probably in culture shock.

 “Time flies when you’re having fun,” as they say, and this second session of Palestine Summer Encounter 2010 is certainly representative of that old aphorism. Somehow, we have already completed the first half of the second session, which also means PSE 2010 is more than half complete!
