Abu Dis musicians have arrived in London

... and some of the women's group were at a welcome meal at Katy's in their honour.

We talked about the blog and decided to send you another message. We are still hoping you will write back - in English or in Arabic, no problem...

*Hope you are all well*

love from Nandita, Lucinda, Katy and Cristina

From the Camden women's links group

Dear women at Dar Assadaqa

We had a meeting today and we were very pleased to hear about what you are doing.

We looked at your list of things that you are doing. We talked about sewing and computers. It is interesting. Everyone at our meeting has a sewing machine but no-one uses them any more.... All of us used to make clothes but it is cheaper to buy clothes now. What do you want to make?

But all of us think computers are very useful... We all use them a lot.

Anyway we want to keep in touch with you all.

We are looking forward to the Palestinian women's visit and we are planning some great events. We are having an International Women's Day event on 7th March at the Calthorpe Centre and we would like to talk to you that day on Skype at 2pm our time - that is 4pm your time.

What do you think? Is that a good time for you? Will that work?

We are looking forward to hearing from you

Love from Lucinda, Katy, Nandita (and Cristina, Margot, Lucy and Val who couldn't come today)

Abu Dis women friends in London!


Dear all of you (and other friends there)

We miss you in London! Please write to us here, in English or Arabic
and write soon!
