Nablus!

any field (relief work, education, painting,

journalism, popular education, youth
development, media work, language teaching,

This Program is open to Americans,
Australians, Canadians, Europeans and
Participants from all over the world. This
Program is also open to
families, couples and individuals.

* Ability to follow-up on projects
* Strong desire to be part of children’s and
women’s events
* Flexibility in work and living situation
* Ability to work full shifts
* Strong enthusiasm and willingness to
participate in daily aspects of life in
Palestine
Durations of Program:
4 weeks, 3-6 months, 7-12 months, 1-2 years
and over 2 years.
Term:
Throughout the year
Aims and Description:
The goal is to create communication and an
exchange on the cultural and human level.
We also want to show the Palestinian people
that others from around the world are
concerned about our situation and suffering
under occupation.
Volunteers will be hosted with a family in
the old city of Nablus.
Emphasis
will be placed on the hosts in the Old
City
in Nablus, but volunteers can also be hosted
in the refugee camps. They can also move
around the old city with more than family.
We will arrange the living and working
conditions of the volunteers so that they
can maximize their experience by using their
knowledge and competencies.
Basics and Money Talk:
While there is no application or program
fee, volunteers will need to cover their
cost of transportation to
Palestine
and
Nablus,
as well as their personal living expenses
for their needs. Additionally, they should
contribute a small amount to the daily needs
of the host family, which would include food
and any other small daily needs. In
addition to contributing minimal financial
support to the family during the difficult
economic times, this will also enable
volunteers to feel more like a part of the
family, as he/she is sharing in their basic
expenses. Along that line, volunteers can
expect to join in food preparation and other
family tasks—and will come away from the
project with an increased vocabulary, new
recipes, and a feeling of having really
partaken in family life.
Visit Nablus Project does not take any money
for personal expenses; all volunteer fees go
to daily activities, lodging, and food, with
a small remainder going to the running of
the centre (rent, supplies).
The city of Nablus and its people welcome
you and appreciate the humanitarian
objective which you coming for!
You will
leave having seen and lived the real
atmosphere of Nablus, knowing the people of
the city and their concern, needs, joys.
You will be our ambassador, to convey the
real picture to
friends and family in your country.
