💼 What the programme involves

In partnership with Alrowwad Cultural and Arts Society, we plan to run a workcamp at their
main office inside the Aida refugee camp. The camp will be running during one of their
children’s summer camp that they run every year to serve the children at the camp.
The work will include:
The work will include cleaning campaigns in the streets, allies and the buildings of the camp and
Alrowwad buildings, wall paintings and murals, in addition to attending workshops with
children, youth and women.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will be hosted at the indoors sport hall on top of the
building including the hostel of Alrowwad (there are only 6 beds) and on mattresses on the floor.
Men and women will stay in separate rooms. The accommodation includes hot water, kitchen and
hangout space. The place has internet connection.

🍲 Food

The volunteers will cook breakfasts, lunches
and dinners by themselves (daily cooking teams to be established- with the help of the chef of the
center). In some cases, lunch will be served during the work time. Tea and coffee will be available
all the time at the form and the hangout space.
There might be curfew for the workcamp, which would be around midnight, unless we have some
activities around outside that night/evening.
The camp is alcohol and drugs free, volunteers can’t drink alcohol during the camp duration.

🎒 Leisure activities

the afternoons will be dedicated to educational and
cultural activities that will elaborate on the Palestinian culture and history, that will help
volunteers to understand the reality of life under occupation. The program will include lectures,
display of documentaries, visits to other refugee camps in the Bethlehem area and tours of other
places of interest. The program will provide many opportunities for interaction with locals.
Volunteers will have the opportunity to speak with Palestinian activists and to ask whatever
questions they have about the situation in Palestine.
