Evie, Norwege

I only have good things to say about it all. The intention was to come here to see how the occupation affects people, and contribute with our presence in Askar. The program has been great, focused on learning and seeing as much as possible in a short time.

What I really like about the program in general is the balance of the good and the bad experiences. I’m from a part of the world where I don’t face problems like here, and the things I have seen and heard during this camp have touched me so much. We all came here to learn, and since the schedule has been compact, I’m thankful for the cultural events that have brought a balance to it all.

It has been so good to laugh and have fun besides all the serious experiences. I like the way you have been introducing the local culture for us; music, Dabka, foods and the Turkish bath; it brought the energy back.

I just can’t figure out anything negative to say about the camp. It has all been great, as the intention is to show what is going on here. I’m sure this is the way to go, introducing Palestine in this way, to make people do what I’m intending to do: write about it, speak about it, discuss and keep on following the conflict. I’m so thankful for the opportunity you have given me to get to know Palestine, and the last two weeks have been one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Thank you, you are all amazing. Keep up the good work, I will!
