Palestine Summer Encounter 2006
Volunteer - Study Arabic - Live with a Family - Be a Witness for Peace!

Over the past two years, ordinary people from around the world have been coming to Palestine to participate in the Summer Encounter, a service learning and cultural immersion program.  Deciding that there was a limit to what they could learn about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from watching the 6 o'clock news, more and more people have decided they want to see for themselves what life is like in the modern day Holy Land.

While in the country, Palestine Summer Encounter participants live with a local family, study Arabic and volunteer with a local church, school, hospital, nonprofit or humanitarian organization.  They also have an opportunity to visit significant organizations and sites of historic, political and religious significance such as Jerusalem, Jericho, the Galilee, Hebron, Nazareth and the Dead Sea. Participants can join the program for 1, 2 or 3 months.

Please forward this e-mail to anyone else you think might be interested in the Palestine Summer Encounter program.

4)       assisting with legal research in human rights cases

5)       supervising and mentoring children at local summer camps

Deadlines

Because you can begin the program at different times, there are three different deadlines to register.  As a rule of thumb, you'll need to submit your application at least one month prior to the date that you will begin the Summer Encounter program in Palestine.

If you want to begin the program on May 27th, the deadline is April 27th—only 22 days away!

If you want to begin the program for the second session on June 24th the deadline to register is May 24th.  If you want to participate in the last month-long session, which begins July 22nd, the deadline to register is June 22nd. 

Please don't wait until the last minute to apply.  It's never too early to register!  The sooner you decide to join the program, the more money you will save on airfare.  Early applications also make it easier for us to place you in the most appropriate volunteer opportunity.
