New volunteers in London

A warm welcome to Ibrahem, Shahd and Lucile, already busy in the CADFA office and out around in Camden. Here, collecting GET WELL signatures for Adam and Joher, who were shot in the legs by Israeli soldiers on their way back from playing football. 

Goodbye London

few days left to go back home, me(Suzan) as an EVS vlonteer here in CADFA, I have learned many things including the good and the bad sides, for example : being responsible, some how professional,Human Rights issues!!etc..
Those 5 months have passed quickly, and I tried to enjoy them indoor &outdoor the job, I wish that the next Volunteers could enjoy it more than me.
It is a good opportunity to have in your life.

First day at a school

Today, we started our day with Naomi in the office..which was our favorite part, it was a good day. We went to the Hampstead School with Rachel through the train, we met Rafeef (teacher) and some girls in the school and we talked about the situation and the challenges in Palestine  and they had Skype conversation.  We talked with Wa'ad and some boys from Abu-Dis town in Dar-Assadaqa.
and we had some food and biscuits and juice and some cheese.

After that we went back to the office to prepare more for the next week.

First days = by Tarek

 i am spending a great days in London with CADFA team, and i am very happy for being with them in London. Every day i am learning new things about London such as stores, areas, places, houses, parks, gardens and, a lot of things, as i said at the first day when i came here, London was my dream, and i have acheived my dream with CADFA, and its more beautiful than i imagine.

Today i went to Westminster City and i visited the bridges and London Eye and many things, how beautiful to live these moments when you are next to the river and seeing the boats crossing under the bridge. i appreciate and respect the culture and if you want the culture you can find it here in London.

Thank you CADFA.

New EVS volunteers arrive in London!

"Well....it's a huge city

"....more beautiful than I imagined. Last night on the train I saw the bridge and the river, I liked it...

"Today we looked round many parts, we've been outside the British Museum and the British Library...

"I saw a store called Costa which reminds me of a customer in my shop in Palestine...

I still don't believe I am in London. But I am very happy to meet Suzan and Tarek and the whole CADFA team. And this is the first time I eat Palestininian food..

[This is Palestinian food from an English cook!]

"Mujadara la nas im'adara"

"You told me that there's a huge clock - that was the British Library... We saw another one yesterday when we were on the way... I saw American banks [where?]... We went through the British Museum and a lot of the university...

[the secret here is that they got LOST!]

We had to charge up the Oyster cards...

The weather was good...
