Fiftieth EAPPI group confirmed

Fiftieth group of ecumenical accompaniers in November

by Ian Kirk-Smith 5th July 2013

The fiftieth group of ecumenical accompaniers to visit Palestine and Israel have been confirmed by Quaker Peace & Social Witness (QPSW).

Eight new volunteers on the Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI) have been signed up for the second half of 2013.

A group will be going out in August. The others will go in November and will form the fiftieth group to be sent by EAPPI.

The aim of the programme, QPSW state, is to provide ‘a protective presence to vulnerable communities, to monitor and report on human rights abuses, to support the nonviolent resistance of Israeli and Palestinian peace groups, to stand in solidarity with those struggling to end the occupation and to engage in advocacy to end it.’
