The Drama session

We finally  had our first drama session on Monday. Nadine and I had met Tamsin and Jo (the two drama teachers) half an hour before we started. After a while the rest of the students arrived and the fun began. We were playing funny games to get to know each other and to get in to drama. We needed lots of creativity and imagination.  We put our names in a not-existing bucket and expressed different feelings with our body language.

After that we started to think about topics we wanted to include in our drama and show the Palestinian youth. At first the participants said things like music, hobbies and celebrities but at the end our long list included also serious topics like the education system and dangers in London. We had hot discussions.

This picture shows our youth meeting on Thursday. We discussed the next youth visit and gave application forms out. Yesterdaym  the the first two students returned their application form in LSU School. I am really happy about this. Next Monday we will start with the first preparation session. I am really looking forward to it.

Anyway, already more then a week past with our new Palestinian volunteers, Nadine and Momin. I am really happy to have them with us because the office is much more lively with them. I hope they will enjoy their time with us.

Cricket Sunday

 Hi Cadfa Friends,

Last Sunday Cadfa organized a Cricket tournament in London, as a fundraising event.

The day was so busy, we  arrived to the Sports Centre with a lot of stuff  to prepare - a stall, the dome and the wall, Palestinian flags, posters, and everything!
When we put everything up and the tournament started; 10 teams enjoyed the matches with everybody playing against each other and the two teams who won the most matches played the final to fight for  the medals and the cup! Some teams were so professionals and they played so well, but other teams just enjoyed their the day, doing some sport and supporting Cadfa. In the middle of the day we stopped to have a really good and spicy lunch with everybody and we finished the day with the prizes.

The day was so lovely, personally, as a Spaniard without any idea about cricket , I participated in a team. I enjoyed my experience meeting new people, introducing them to Cadfa and knowing a bit more about the British culture.

The women's visit

Hey everyone,

The women's visit was the most intensive visit for me, because we traveled a lot. At first we spent a long weekend in Wales, After this we traveled to Blackburn. We stayed there for 2 Nights and on the Wednesday we took the train to Worcester. In Worcester and Blackburn people welcomed us warmly. They organised also lots of events where we had the chance to talk about Palestine and CADFA.

Thursday night we arrived in London and had a delicious meal at Te Amo Resturant.

Youth Visit Leafelet

Hurraaaaay!!!

The leaflets about the next youth visit in June arrived today in the morning. I created them by myself last week and I wasn't sure if they would arrive in time. Now we can start to spread the message. We will need them on Saturday for our demonstration against child prisoners. I am so excited and cant wait to give them out.
