The Twinning in Action women's exchange to Palestine is getting close, and yesterday it suddenly jumped a big step nearer when (after the CADFA lunch pictured above) the London-based women were able to meet and find that yes, this is real! We'll send more information now to the others in the group and look forward to being a complete group and to meeting our Palestinian friends.... soon!
We started to get to know each other, reminded ourselves what the visit is about (see objectives below) and collected lots of questions. We discussed what we needed to prepare and take and how the exchange will run, with groups of UK and Palestinian women working together... We will be putting things on this blog as we go so please put your email in and follow it!
