>For a second year, the Israeli Committee Against    House Demolitions
>(ICAHD) is offering a summer work camp intended to forge    learning and
>discussion between Palestinians, Israelis and internationals. The    camp
>will be based at ICAHD’s Beit Arabiya in the town of Anata, north of
>Jerusalem and is scheduled for August 8th through 22nd. Together, peace
>and    human rights activists will participate in joint projects and
>workshops with    the local community. The main activity of the camp will
>be the rebuilding of    the Jadawi home in Anata, demolished in early June
>of this year. Additionally,    participants will engage in practical works
>to improve local conditions in the    village as well as critical tours of
>the “facts on the ground,” such as house    demolitions, settlement
>construction, the “Separation Barrier,” checkpoints,    and other
>trademarks of the Occupation. Through exposure to the consequences    and
>implications of the Occupation and cooperative projects, the goal of the
>work camp is to create a meeting place for involvement and discourse
>between    Palestinians, Israelis and internationals.

>
>ICAHD
>The    Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD) is a
>non-violent,    direct-action organization that resists Israel’s
>Occupation through opposing    its policy of demolishing Palestinian
>homes. ICAHD also resists all other    oppressive occupation policies “on
>the ground:” land expropriation, settlement    expansion, policies of
>"closure," the destruction of Palestinian agriculture    and
>infrastructure, construction of the "Separation Barrier" and all other
>attempts to prevent the establishment of a viable Palestinian state. ICAHD
>works closely with Israeli, Palestinian and international peace and human
>rights organizations.

>
>Camp    Activities
>The    main activity of the camp will be the rebuilding of the Jadawi home
>in Anata,    demolished in early June of this year. Additionally,
>participant will join    artists in renovating and painting kindergartens
>in the town as well as    cultural and social events that will take place
>during the two weeks. Tours of    Jerusalem, the West Bank, the Negev
>desert, and the area of the “Triangle” in    northern Israel will be
>offered to volunteers discussing “facts on the ground”    in respect to
>both the Occupation of the Palestinian territories and the    consequences
>of the wall on each side. Discussions, dialogue, lectures and    panels by
>leading Palestinian and Israeli NGO representatives will also take
>place at Beit Arabiya in Anata, a peace center rebuilt last year in
>ICAHD’s    summer work camp.

>
>Beit Arabiya
>Beit Arabiya, the House    of Peace, was built by Palestinian, Israeli and
>international activists on the    ruins of the Shawamreh family home in
>Anata. Since it was first demolished by    the Israeli authorities five
>years ago, the Shawamreh house has become a    symbol of resistance not
>only to the Occupation itself, but to Israel's    sustained campaign to
>displace the Palestinians from their country altogether.     Unable to
>endure yet another demolition, they have rebuilt their home    for the
>fifth time, this time as a peace center in the name of Arabiya and
>dedicated to Rachel Corrie and Nuha Sweidan, two women who died during
>Israeli    house demolitions in Gaza last year.

>
>Participation
>Cost for participation in the camp per    person is $350 US (pending
>additional funding which would lower the cost) and    includes sleeping
>accommodation, transportation and food for the entire period    of the
>camp. Please contact info@??? for registration, further
>information, a schedule, and all inquiries regarding the camp. (If
>financial    circumstances alone would prevent you from participating,
>contact our staff to    discuss alternative arrangements.)

>
>Accommodation
>Accommodation for the international    participants will be in the Beit
>Arabiya Peace Center. Mattresses will be    provided, but be prepared for
>modest conditions. Participants have the option    to find another
>accommodation at their own expenses if they    wish.
