EAPPI-blog

My friend Petter is working as an Ecumenical Accompanier with EAPPI in the village of Yanun. So long he has been there for 1 month, with about 2 months left.

Petter updates his blog (89days.no) regulary and is a good writer. So if you would like to learn more about the situation in the West Bank and about the work of an Ecumenical Accompanier, I recommend visiting his blog!

Btw, everything is written in English.
