Visiting our Olive trees

This page is to introduce the short video made for us by the Witness Centre in Nablus during our visit in November 2022.

They gave us a presentation about the work we did together and then took us to see olive trees we had funded and they had planted in Deir Sharaf.  Here we met the Mayor of Deir Sharaf and some of the farmers.

On to Sabastiya where we were able to plant some olive trees ourselves.

Here is a short video showing this day.

The delegations included members of the Dundee-Nablus Twinning Association (DNTA) and trustees of FONSA (Friends of Nablus and Surrounding Areas).
