Ecumenical Accompaniment (EAPPI)

Poster for the event

This program was initiated by the World Council of Churches but does not require you to be religious to participate.

The idea is to stay for 3 months in Palestine to witness what is happening. Ecumenical Accompaniers (EAs) do not take sides but they do stand for human rights.

Several DNTA members and friends have participated. They were impressed.
