The Chantry Group

11 December 2013 by admin in Blog

The Chantry Group, meeting at the Royal Foundation of St Katherine in Limehouse, London offered me an opportunity to speak about Palestine.

 

I’ve seldom worked harder to prepare as I was to share the morning with a speaker from the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions who had just returned from a month in Israel and the West Bank! She brought a power point presentation and a short film. I felt daunted! I wondered if I should speak off the cuff but I decided I had nothing to lose by sticking with my prepared text. It was as well as I did.

 

After my talk we broke for coffee and I was given a cheque for £100 and by the end of the weekend £425.25 had been collected.

 

I’m so grateful to Helen Burnett for making this happen and the young musicians who contributed so much by their delightful concert on Saturday evening at which I read a short paragraph from Raja Shehadeh’s Occupation Diaries. All in all a brilliant occasion – and I learned more about ICAHD.

 

 

Another time, I must remember to get photos!
