Thursday 19th June

Very very busy today... Met lots of people and lots of people are interested and want to know more and find useful things to do with CADFA...

First, Camden School, which was very impressive. Our great group of buddies did a Powerpoint presentation about Abu Dis and CADFA to introduce the girls who sang and Ahmed played... Then looking at the school and a music class and an RE class and a good discussion with a history student... Then basket ball.

Then Netley School which was also great, where we had lunch and met year 6, played rounders and went to Regent's Park, and then had a great assembly with songs from Camden and Abu Dis and also a story from Aida Camp read both in English and in Arabic (their refugee week assembly)

Then a girls' club in Euston where there was a very interesting discussion about the differences between teenage life in Britain and in Palestine - Why do some teenagers in London NOT care about education when teenagers in Palestine really do?! They are also interested and want to stay in touch...

And the Scouts in Coram's Fields who looked at a map and tried falafel and fool and listened to the singing and asked sensible questions...

And then food at Carmel's (thanks Carmel and Rachael)
