Arrival in Salifit

After a long wonderful "goodbye" party in Nablus, we awoke early to put ourselves and all our belongings into a small car and go back to Ha'wara checkpoint. Our esteemed volunteer, Issam, joined for the voyage from Nablus to Salifit; a mere 20 kilometers from from the edges of Nablus.

However, this trip took us easily more than one hour due to the several checkpoints between the two cities. After a safe arrival in Salifit, Issam returned back to Nablus, which, as an single palestinian male took him over 4 hrs.

In Salifit working with the Hanan center, we've managed to organize three workshops for today and tomorrow. Its been wonderful to step out of the large city of Nablus for a short while, and work with a center organized to help the villages, 21 villages, in the area. Already today we managed to play a wonderful workshop for 50 children in the Hanan center. They sang for us, we played for them, and finally we played together,

Tomorrow is going to be an exciting day.

Tom
