We can't quite believe that this time last week, we were out on the hills trying to fly our wonderfully decorated kites. Where has the last week gone since we left the wonderful The Wisp Retreat ?
We just wanted to share with you, our followers and all of our retreaters, what they raised by coming on the retreat.- £1339.
During the week, we ate- boy did we eat! We made stuffed vine leaves, Sambusak, and helped make falafel, hummous, Maqluba, Baklava and many more delicious dishes. We did Tatreez, decorated kites and flew them, decorated stones to leave at The Wisp. We connected every day with our friends in Palestine and more than a few tears were shed, as well as lots of laughter with engaging conversations. On our last night we were entertained by Duo Hyperborea with Chris's amazing skills on every instrument he touched, and Helena's mesmerising voice.
Many thanks to Rola and Sama and Nicky for helping make the retreat the success it was, as well of course to Alison and Eddie, who trusted us with The Wisp takeover.
We had a fantastic group of participants who just gelled and made our jobs just that little bit easier for the retreat to run smoothly.
This money raised is going towards a summer school in the Salfit area to give the children there some much needed and much wanted education as they have lost so much over the past couple of years due to the situation.
