some pictures
































i will try to put up some pictures here, of the training and of various other things. top left: dr. nadal practicing, and me pulling needles, me and trainers and the whole group, my ear being a volunteer for one of the trainees to practice on, samya needling,


please let me know if the writing is too much, because i spend a lot of time trying to write about what i am seeing and feeling. if you are curious or have questions, please ask me. anyway, i feel like what i am seeing here needs to be talked about and repeated, and i just hope that this writing is helping you all understand this situation better and also give you things to talk about with others! i guess i feel like there is a lot of writing about what happens here, not in mainstream news, but its out there. but really the education happens when we start talking about this with people, or start taking action.

Thank you Mateo for the time and effort you have put into sharing with us your experiences and thoughts. It is so important for us to read about the daily lives and struggles of Palestinian men, women and children-what we rarely read in the mainstream media.

I also admire your ability to write with so much detail and love given your very demanding days in Palestine.
We wish you a safe return to your "other" home.....
Love and solidarity,
Sharon
