Helping others is a family thing

[eumelia]

I'm going olive picking tomorrow.
And Mummy and Daddy are coming with me.

My siblings don't know what I've done but they suspect I brained washed them somehow, or slipped them a Micky in their coffee at some point.

My family so totally kicks ass!

In a few words, going olive picking is activism because I'm doing something towards change, not just helping someone with their livelihood but also encouraging co-operation between Jews and Arabs, to see that we're all human and living on a tiny stretch of land that we need to share in harmony.

I know very fluffy, but I'm an idealist :) I gotta believe in something.

that's really nice... good for you getting your parents involved. it may not seem like it sometimes but i am an idealist too.. i think that jews and arabs sharing a country could be such an amazing thing... i hope that comes across through my frustrated ventings :) so jealous that you are in the country to be able to do this stuff.
