SNOWblog.net: Formerly known as Snow in Jerusalem

Silence follows me during these hectic days.

Snow in Jerusalem is confirmed. The budget approved, and the Belgian Consulate as main sponsor.
Now we are busy setting up all the needed things: a website, a photoblog, photographic material etc..
Amazing.

After all the plans we made during endless evenings, it is finally reality.

Connecting Languages is an a-political Israeli organization while we have another organization in Gaza coöperating.
And I am the Technical Adviser in this project.
Trying to set up a meeting in Gaza now.
Which doesnt turn out to be easy at all.

A photoblog is being set up especially for this project.

Snow in Jerusalem is a project in which 3 classes are involved: a school in Gaza, a school in Kfar Kasem (Israeli Arab) and another school with Israeli jews.
Children that will write in English language about their daily life.
Pictures that accompany the thing will show this daily life. (And I will be giving workshops to teach them somehow something)

This is when people that dont understand what I am busy with, should understand.
The things I do seems to be miles apart from each other, but somehow in my head there is a very evident link that seems to be invisible for many.
All the web projects, all the photography, all the human interest come together here.
In this a project.

Snow in Jerusalem. It is possible. I saw it last year. Children playing in white snow.

This year it is a project you might hear of
