The first lot of youth visas have come! And the tee-shirts are ordered

It is NOT OK for a Palestinian to have such a problem getting a UK visa when the people who live a separate privileged on their land are allowed by the UK to come with no visa...

It is NOT OK for it to cost so much when it adds to the prices paid by a people under occupation every time they  move (cost to apply to go to Jerusalem, cost for a fine when arrested for something you didn't do, cost for travelling to Amman instead of flying directly from your country, cost of tax to the occupying country to be allowed to leave that country...) ...

It is NOT OK to reinforce discrimination by copying this difference, and CADFA ask you again to sign our petition (we are also collecting in  hard copy) here...

But because we are waiting for our young visitors, we are very glad that the first lot of visas have arrived and the others are expected probably tomorrow. They are travelling next week.

Preparations are going on - today the handbooks for the young people have arrived from the printer, and the tee-shirts have been priced and will be produced in Palestine and brought along with them by the visitors when they come.

Last night in London was a CADFA meal to officially start off the youth visit, though in fact in both countries the young people involved are already deep in preparation and looking forward to meeting each other.


If you are not part of the project, you can still enjoy it and support the young people by joining the public events in Norfolk or London. Hope to see you soon.
