As part of the grassroots initiative to twin Birmingham with Ramallah on the West Bank of the Occupied Palestinian Territories, four Palestinians from Ramallah will visit Birmingham from the 20th to the 29th of November
They are all part of our sister twinning committee in Ramallah. One works at HDIP a health project, one works in the Human Rights organisation Our Rights, one works in the media and the other is a teacher. During their stay they hope to meet organisations and groups that would be interested in finding out more about the daily situation in Palestine and how grass roots links may be developed between the people of our two cities.
If you would like one of them to speak to your organisation, please contact one of the numbers below.
