From September 2004
thru January 2005, I volunteered as a photographer for various
organizations in Palestine and Israel. I was first based at
Birzeit University
in September and October, then Friends
School in Ramallah which allowed me free access to photograph
and helped with logistic help and a residence. For the remaining
three months I photographed for Ecumenical
Accompaniers for Peace in Palestine & Israel, the Gaza
Community Mental Health Center which is doing such courageous
and vital work with people suffering from trauma, a youth program
of the
American Friends Service Committee, also in Gaza,
Holy Land Trust,
Christian Peacemakers Team in Hebron, Israeli
Committee Against Home Demolitions, Parents
Circle-Families Forum and Rabbis
for Human Rights, boldly enacting Judaic social justice
principles.
