Pilgrim’s first webinar was a vibrant and well-attended opportunity to hear first hand from three leaders at Wi’am who are also leaders of the city of Bethlehem. A combination of hearing from Usama Nicola, Zoughbi Al-zoughbi and his son Tarek Al-Zoughbi, followed by question and answers from Pilgrims across the U.S. gave us new insight into life under both occupation and a pandemic. Participants came away with up-to-date information on the lives of our sisters and brothers in the Galilee region, and inspired by their leadership and sense of community care.
This webinar also raised over $2,000 in support of the Wi’am Conflict Transformation Center. Thank you Pilgrims, for your interest and generosity.
