Just a few pictures from my time overseas. More later. Its a real pain in the ass to upload pictures to Photobucket on dial-up!
All those who have ever lived and worked here!
View of the front of our house
Our living room/bedroom/library/etc... with sleeping mats
An Operation Dove member waves hello to America
A view into the house from the front door
Our kitchen
Another view of our kitchen
Our one electricity source, where we charged our phones, cameras, laptops, etc, in the evening during our 4-6 of power- not exactly up to code!
On Eid Al-Fitr, the kids congregated at our house to play, and drew and colored all sorts of masterpieces, which tickled them to have displayed on our wall
My favorite- what a ham!
Sifah says "bring it on!"
Sifah in a more angelic pose
Kids playing in abandoned car that had been trashed by the IDF
Kids hanging out at Beit CPT, playing backgammon while waiting for their friends and siblings to finish English homework
Caves where the residents of Tuwani lived for hundreds of years, up until about 60--70 years ago. Many scholars believe Jesus was born in a cave much like this. Now used in the village for storage, or for animals.
Abandoned stone house, which the village lived in until about 30 years ago, before building cement-block houses, like ours.
The regional grammar school. Children from a bunch of surrounding villages come here, total of about 200 kids. The kids from Tuba attend here, the ones whose escorts we monitor every day.
Sheep!
View of the much-disputed clinic (now open, if they could just get a doctor here regularly) from the CPT front yard.
Jaffa Gate, 7 am, before all the shops opened
Damascus Gate, East Jerusalem
More to come, periodically.
*"Beit" means house. Saying "Beit So-and-so" is like the French way of saying "Chez Paul", or "at so-and-so's house".
