Bethlehem

We left from Ramallah Friends school campus and headed to Bethlehem, the trip started by visiting the Nativity Church, then continued to spend time shopping in the local market. Bethlehem is one of the Palestinian cities that has been dramatically affected by the separation wall which is very visible when you drive in the city streets, we walked by the wall, wrote and painted our hopes for a better future. Then we enjoyed a great local Palestinian lunch (Fukharah) at 1890 restaurant in Bait Jala. The day program has not finished yet! It ended with great hike in a wonderful area in the north of Ramallah called Jibia where we culminated the day by surprising 3 of our campers who had birthdays by having a birthday party in the outdoor in Palestine beautiful nature.
