Me(Suzan) and Safia went on the 10th, Feb to Northampton by Invitation from Julia( she work in this twinning group) to give a speech about the life in general in Palestine under the Israeli occupation.
Actually they were so organized and they have done a great job by creating the evening event in a restaurant and they have invited more than 60 people who were interested to hear and to know more about Palestine.
I have given a speech for more than 10 min, I talked about the suffering in my land in general, and then I talked also about Gaza strip, And finally about the women who will come soon to this city, then Julia talked more about this visit deeply.
Safia have talked about being an EVS (European Voluntary Service) in the UK, and her experience and what she has learned shortly.
I'm impressed honestly of the activities which have done during the dinner event, Ala'( Palestinian man who lives there) has done the auction for a Palestinian products and he has really done well , I think he has sense of marketing some how ;)
Hasaneen ( another man who helps in this twinning group) has offered some of the ruffles,and he had helped a lot .
I don't want to forget any names but all the people there who help in this twinning all were great and well organized.
They all were looking to host the 15 women from Palestine in a lovely generous way.
As a Palestinian woman, I would love to thank all of those people there who really show me how much respect and love they give for the Palestinian .

Thank you for your visit to Northampton, Suzan and Safia. You really helped us to raise the money we need for the Women In Action project, just by being there. And you gave great speeches too!
