Welcome to Hope Secondary School in Beit Jala

A Swedish group for the city of Kungalv, on the West Coast of Sweden, near Gothenburg are visiting the school for ten Days. The group are school children from the school of  Mimers Hus, and consists of six young teenagers (16-18 years old) in addition to two leaders  (Robin Andersoon and Emma Alfredsson).

The students are volunteers with a burning passion to help those in need and work for a good cause, they are painting the walls and whitewashing the classrooms preparing them for the next school year in September.

They also want  to understand the conflict between Israel-Palestine and the Arabic culture "for real", so we, at Hope School, have been arranging for them to visit our students at their homes, and get a close look at the Palestinian daily life.

At  Hope Secondary School the group have been  good taken care of in every way possible, by the working staff and the principle Solomon Nour.

"The experience so far has been wonderful and filled with ever-lasting memories! "  Says Robin, the group leader.
