Diary from Palestine 8 - A school for Vik

Goodbye Palestine. For the last chapter of our trip we go back a few days. April 25. In Italy's Liberation Day. Travel companions for Peace Luisa Morgantini have worthily celebrated the anniversary of the Jordan Valley. Along with Fathey Kidrath, coordinator of the popular committees in the valley, its former MEP Morgantini, has laid the foundation stone of a school that is dedicated to Vittorio Arrigoni.

Girls and boys of the group then spent the morning helping the Palestinian construction workers, moving bricks from one side, under the burning sun of the desert. In the end, of course, Italian and Palestinian construction workers gathered for the singing of ritual: Bella hello. This school masonry, where the Israeli army decides to demolish will allow children of the villages in the area on the outskirts of Jericho not to lecture in tents, as it does today.

A real school, a real building. Simple things that seem impossible dreams here. How impossible is the task of the ship Oliva, launched dall'Ism (International soldiarity movement), and for which you are spending the same Morgantini and is spending: the objective of opposing naval blockade of the Gaza Strip and will help the Palestinian fishermen, monitoring and documenting the attacks of Israeli ships that want to prevent vessels beyond the three miles from the coast.
