Event Description

Work Camp in Work Camp in Ein el-Hilweh, Lebanon
August 19th - September 3rd 2009

The concrete and ambitious project we are proposing to everyone who shares our spirit is to take part in a work brigade in the Palestinian refugee camp of Ein el-Hilweh in the south of Lebanon. Ein el-Hilweh is a real ghetto where the almost 100.000 Palestinians have been living for generations in a terrible situation.

We have engaged with our partners of Nashet, a youth association composed of both Palestinians living in the camp and Lebanese, in a wide task aimed at improving the condition of young people and families of the camp by means of a drop-out recovery program (school dropout is a dramatic problem in the camp) and professional education.

The first step requires the renovation of a building inside the camp - a building formerly used as an office by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and half-destroyed by Israeli rockets - to turn it into a place suited for the activities planned in the project.

"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor."
~ Desmund Tutu.

The children appear traumatized. The teachers say that when they hear a loud noise they look to the sky and cry out and weep. They don’t know what the future holds. They deserve better.
Mia Farrow, after visiting Gaza as goodwill ambassador for UNICEF.
