Our program required a field semester in the fall in which we completed our studies. The head of the Palestinian Bible Society was in my grad cohort, and he convinced me to come and work with his organization. <BR/> The project he set me up with was the Living Stones student center in the town of Birzeit, located about 20 min north of Ramallah. I was there for about 3 months building relationships with Palestinian university students from all over the West Bank, teaching some of them english, and also teaching english in some of the various schools in outlying villages in which the Living Stones center teaches servant leadership courses.<BR/> It's an amazing organization with amazing people. Here is the website for further info: http://www.pbs-web.com/pbs_1024.htm<BR/> I'm returning there on Wed to continue working in the same project and hopefully to get more involved in the organization. I'll be there until June and will then reassess where God is leading next.<BR/> How are you finding your grad program? How long is it?<BR/> Looking forward to hearing back from you!<BR/><BR/>RebeccaRebecca Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394992189247086608noreply@blogger.com
