The phone is hot! I think I'm going to need a back up handset. The laptop almost killed me this week when the power supply apparently stopped and the screen went dead with all info and half written emails awaiting. Twenty minutes later a different plug... revival, breathe.
The Viva team and Group 1 are amazing all focused on getting themselves and everyone onto the road and very supportive. I've learned how to use a googlegroup.
This afternoon I met up with a member of London Palestinian Rights Group www.lprg.org.uk he offered not only aid but space for collecting, space for meeting and financial support to individuals on convoy. Spent an hour speaking about the need to question, challenge and be curious -a place he attends is the Zionist Federation where he has met a diversity of people whom we need to speak with. For balance I'd like to link you to their website: http://www.zionist.org.uk/
He also distributes Palestinian products by Zaytoun. I was donated some of these products by La Bouche in Broadway Market for a fundraising dinner. I have just had another one raising £65! Wow thank you so much folks.
The Zaytoun couscous was really fantastic see happy smiling faces above, hand rolled and sun-dried by a Palestinian women's co-operative, www.zaytoun.org
I popped in on my new neighbours upstairs briefly and they seem lovely. A couple, he works for a charity called Muslim Hands www.muslimhands.org, anyway we plan to catch up in January.
Countdown to leaving - today was vehicle registration deadline. Things are shaping up.
