Guys we would like to invite in coming weeks we will be organizing this event, date yet to be confirmed. We will be picking olives in area C/B with Palestinian famers.

Olives Picking near Nablus, in area C/B that has had their olive trees
expropriated by israeli settlement.

We will organize 1 day event the first or second week of the harvest
season in Palestine, that will start with picking and end with
entertainment and dinner. Lunch and constant supply of water
will be provided as well.

We will be there to help the farmers and help them to pick
as many olives as possible during the day, as Israeli security
would not let them to come other time to finish their picking.

PROGRAM to be confirmed precisely:

8:00 - 8:30am
Collect volunteers from center city of Nablus and drive them
to the cooperative

8:30 - 9:00am
Welcome speech by Al'Ard representative and
head of the cooperative.

9:00am - 9:30am
Transport to the proximity of the expropriated land,
from where we walk 5 minutes to the trees.

9:30am - 12:00 Olives picking

12:00 - 12:30 Lunch in the nature

12:30 - 17:30 Olives picking

17:30 - 18:00 Back to the cooperative

18:00 - 19:00 Dinner

19:00 - Evening program

The exact date is to be confirmed, as we wait for the cooperative
to confirm when it will be OK to collect the olives upon receiving
a permission to approach the land from israeli administration
that usually does not allow us to collect olives more than 1 day.
This is the reason why we need to gather as many volunteers as
possible to be able to help the farmers to collect as much olives as
possible.

For more info please contact: info@alard.ps

PLEASE REQUEST A REGISTRATION FORM SO WE CAN
GET THE RIGHT NUMBER OF VOLUNTEERS FOR THE CATERING
SERVICE AND TO ARRANGE TRANSPORT FOR YOU FROM
THE CITY CENTER TO THE COOPERATIVE AND TO THE PLACE
OF PICKING AND BACK.

Accommodation is not provided, but we can help
arrange something (shared flat or guesthouse)
between 35 - 100nis per night in Nablus city.
