Help Rev. Joi Orr travel to Palestine/Israel as a part of the Interfaith Peace-Builder’s 2012 African Heritage Delegation.
Interfaith Peace-Builders sends delegations to Israel/Palestine so that residents of North American can see the conflict with their own eyes. Participants have the opportunity to learn directly from Israeli and Palestinian nonviolent peace/human-rights activists, to spend time in Palestinian and Israeli homes, and to experience the situation of Palestinians living under military occupation. The delegations focus on seeing, listening to, and recording the experiences and perspectives of a wide range of Palestinians and Israelis. Click here to learn more about our Delegation Program.
