We are still here: a Palestinian community holds onto its land

Paula Orr of the Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI) will give a talk about her work. Paula spent three months in Palestine and was involved in monitoring and reporting human rights abuses. Paula will focus on one community's life under Israeli occupation.

The Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI) is an international programme coordinated by the World Council of Churches. It brings people from around the world to the West Bank to serve for three months as human rights monitors. They are called Ecumenical Accompaniers (EAs).

EAPPI was founded in response to a call from the Heads of Churches in Jerusalem. Since 2002 over 1,500 international volunteers from 22 countries have served as EAs. In the UK and Ireland it is coordinated by British Quakers on behalf of 16 churches and NGOs partners.
