The start

If you're reading this then you are obviously connected to me in some way. I thought a blog would be a good way of recording on a daily basis the reality of living and working in Nablus in the West Bank. The world seems instantly different when the plane touches back down in the UK and reflections are distorted by time. I will hopefully be able to add to this blog each day and give a truer picture of what it is like.

The picture above was taken when I was in Nablus at Easter of this year. I spent three days at the organisation pictured trying to write funding bids for them. I look forward to seeing the people who work there again and hope they weren't stopped from doing their good work by the IOF visit.

I'm keen to be back in Nablus but fear this experience may be different from the last time I was there.
