ICAHD Rebuiliding Work Camp - July 15-28, 2008

THE ISRAELI COMMITTEE AGAINST HOUSE DEMOLITIONS
announces its

SUMMER REBUILDING WORK CAMP
July 15 – July 28, 2008

The Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD) announces its annual summer rebuilding work camp.  Every year international volunteers join with Israeli peace activists and the Palestinian local community to rebuild a home demolished by the Israeli authorities of a Palestinian family.  This year it is the home of the Elyyan family in the village of Anata, near Jerusalem.  During two weeks, we will reconstruct a home from the foundations to the roof, and hand the key to the family.  Rebuilding demolished homes is ICAHD’s powerful statement of resistance to the Occupation and, beyond that, resistance to the ongoing process of dispossessing the Palestinians from their land and patrimony.

For two weeks in July, camp participants (this year coming from the United States, Britain, Finland, Spain, Canada and Norway) will engage in building activities punctuated by evening meetings with Palestinian and Israeli political figures, activists, academics and artists, including tours throughout the West Bank, Jerusalem and Israel focusing on the political situation.
