Yesterday, Dar Assadaqa
was packed with excited folk from the forthcoming student and
womens' visits.

The people going on
the student visit (arriving in London on the 27th January)
discovered more about what they will be doing on their trip to London
and were also given time to talk together and with us about the
presentations they will do in London at local schools and events.
From our conversations with them we believe they really benefited
from the day and we also got a chance to see how dedicated they all
were at making sure the presentations were great. Some of them have
even decided to come back to Dar Assadaqa everyday until their trip
just to make sure the presentations are the best they can be and that
gives us real optimism that all those who see them are in for a real
treat. In general, there was a real buzz within the group as their
excitement and expectation for the trip built throughout which was really great
to see.

The women from the
womens' visit (arriving in London on 27th February) were
also at Dar Assadaqa to discover more about their trip from both Dr
Fadwa and Abed who gave informative talks. Over the next few hours
of conversation in the heat of a lovely day on the back patio of Dar
Assadaqa the women also got to know each other more and spirits
seemed high.

Later the women's and
students visits received a joint meeting which was also attended by
guests of the local council. Together they discussed their trips and
generally got to know each other which was good for everyone.

It was really great to
see Dar Assadaqa full of joy and it gave us a real sense of how
important our involvement is to the people it serves in Abu Dis.
Next week the schools will start up again so be sure to check out the
blogs soon to find out what the new semester will bring!
All the best,
CADFA team
