in Neve Shalom / Wahat al Salam?
Nothing particular, as far as I'm aware of. There was a brief power outage around 3 or 4pm. We had a lovely meeting, me, Jacky and Halim and finally agreed on the final version of our application. Jacky will submit it tomorrow. Found out from Yael that there's going to be a very cool conference here next month where several journalists, academics and activists get together. I'll do my best to find my own personal translator but I'm sure I'll meet interesting people and hopefully make good contacts. Also this week (Friday) there's going to be facilitators training and an encounter workshop with teenagers. Not that I'd be able to understand what they speak but who knows, maybe I get lucky and someone translates it for me, some parts of it at least. It seems like a quiet night, and it's really warm which is why I'm hanging out in the common room. Mouna cleaned the whole place, thoroughly, so I'm comfortable for sure and I'm determined to have everyone -including myself- keep it that way! Grrrr.
So that's all about the village, as far as I know. As for me, I think I need to be much more active and productive than this. I fear that this wake-up-train-go-to-school-go-back-to-the-vol-house thing becoming a routine. The first two parts are fine and will stay that way but I need to explore more. For instance why haven't I still been to Tel Aviv? I'm not sure where to go but isn't that the point? I might do that next week. Wednesday I'm going to explore Jerusalem. :D First time!
I think I'm ready to start the capoeira classes. I'll meet the yoga teacher this Friday and ask for her support. We'll see how that goes. Yoga might be nice, if I get a reasonable discount.
I started reading a book called "Missed Opportunities for Peace: U.S. Middle East Policy 1981-1986". I plan on sharing some excerpts from it in the following weeks. Third Monday is over.
