Workcamp Details

Description: The Tent of Nations farm seeks to bring people of various cultures and countries together to build a bridge between people and land. The vision of The Tent of Nations is to prepare people to make a positive contribution to their future and society through the values of understanding and respect. This is to be achieved through education-awareness campaigns, youth empowerment, and work camps. The Tent of Nations Farm is located south west of Bethlehem near the village of Nahalin. This land is still under threat of confiscation and we are still in the Israeli courts defending the farm since 32 years without giving up. Still we believe in justice and our response to the unjust situation is in a nonviolent and creative way under the slogan "We refuse to be enemies".

Type of Work: During the twelve days work camp, you will experience the way we are taking care of the new planted trees and in a dry climate. In addition to harvesting, the volunteers will also assist with weeding as well as removing of grass around the various fruit trees in areas where cultivation is not possible. This is very important to keep the trees healthy, to se the grass as food for the livestock, but also to reduce the risk of fire during the long summer and hot months.
