Feeling... active

[eumelia]

The march for the Darfurian refugees went very well, there were tons of people, music and (a sorta) equal amount of black and white people, which is always good.
Held a sign and was caught for a second on TV (red shirt, purple scarf, short hair - hard to miss) and am feeling really good about the whole raising awareness stuff.

Tomorrow I'm going olive picking with other volunteers in the villages just outside Tul-Karem in the West Bank (between the Green Line and the Security Wall) and am looking forward to it. I'll write about it tomorrow and maybe (if I remember, since I'll be waking up early, groggy and grumpy) I'll take pictures and post 'em.

Maybe.

Decided to stop signing my posts with the request to stop the genocide, I do what I can in real life and write about it what I know online.

Olive picking = very cool. Through where/what organzation are you going?

It's organized by the various peace groups (this one specifically by מחסוםWatch) you know like Gush Shalom, Peace Now, Warriors for Peace, etc.

I found an announcement on a blog I sometimes read, totally by chance and emailed the people in charge of the buses.

Olive picking sounds really cool. Too bad you can't eat 'em fresh off the ... er, tree? Bush?

Yeah, it's a shame I hate every form of olive except olive oil ;P
