Summer Camp update
Day 3 of the summer camp has been huge success!
Beit Sahour
We are staying in Beit Sahour, it is a small town just outside of Bethlehem. Though we are in Palestine, Beit Sahour is a predominately Christian town. All the Palestinian people who we have met in Beit Sahour and Bethlehem are very nice and extremely hospitable. We have been to tea multiple nights at different houses of the camp counselors who live here. The first two nights Joseph a counselor who lives in Beit Sahour took us on walking tours of the city and to his cousin’s house for tea and coffee. It is a very peaceful town, it feels safe and it is beautiful. Our hotel couldn’t be better, it is very close to the camp and they are taking very good care of us. More to come, sorry posting was slow, we hope to pick it up.
