Tuesday 17th was a GREAT DAY

**We started with a meeting in Rachael's garden to discuss the programme and what everyone was expecting and how things were going so far...

** Then we went on the first London bus, and we went upstairs so everyone could see a lot of London...

** Then we went to the Camden Local Authority Children, Schools and Families Department, and the kids sang and lots of people listened and said nice things....

** Then we went on a bus to the river and saw the middle of London and Somerset House and the bridges ...

** Then the London Eye and a brilliant view...

** Then the boat on the river and so much to see...

** Then icecreams in the sun...

** Then back by bus past the Whitehall and Trafalgar Square etc

** Then a CADFA meal and lots of good people were there - and lots of nice food, but Saud's mum's maklubeh was special (for me)

** Then a meeting on refugees, which was important. Sirat spoke and so did some of the girls - and later people wanted them to sing, along with Ahmed. People were listening hard.

** News for the girls' families: Your daughters are GREAT. It is a real pleasure having them with us in London. We think they are having a really great time, and certainly the people who meet them appreciate their energy and what they say as well as their singing. They are great ambassadors for Palestine (along with Ahmed and Sirat of course!)
Best wishes from London to you all!
