Day 6 in the ISM House

Just a quick post to try and describe the routine in the ISM house. We tend to get back from the various villages between 4 and 6 pm, and after a communal meal and general chit chat about the events of the day, hot spots and dust ups with settlers and IOF the phone calls begin.

There are various groups working in the Nablus region and lots of villages with groves in danger areas, and between us we need to cover these areas, however, there are local differences and difficulties and trying to gain an overview of who need assistance, when and with which groups is like herding cats. The International Coordinator here in Nablus is Arin a young Aussie who shows fantastic patience and organising skills to make sure we are all in the right place at the right time as well as coordinating the ISM activity in Hebron, Bilin, Nilin, Ramallah as well as Nablus and not forgetting Susiya. So its all go in here from about 8 till whenever and I better go now because the phones are going!

Never a dull moment.....
