From the Northampton-al Bireh twinning group

We want to thank the wonderful women of the Green and Blue groups for visiting us here in Northampton - and we also thank CADFA for making your visit possible. It was a joy to have you with us. Thank you for everything you told us about your lives, and specially for your wonderful presentations last night. You reached lots of local people, including local women's groups and the members of our Northampton Al-Bireh (Palestine) Friendship Association. Your two radio interviews were heard by thousands. Your stories made us feel sad and angry, but we also had fun with you and we hope you will have good memories of Northampton. It was good to walk with you through our market, to see you sitting in the Mayor's chair at the Guildhall, eating fish and chips in the high street cafe, chatting with the Pearls of Peace Muslim ladies, and later teaching our members to dance some dabkeh! Our thoughts are with you and we hope you will enjoy the rest of your trip.
