Wednesday JULY 8th. 6.30pm.

West Car park, EATON PARK, Norwich, (off South Park Ave)

Linda Albin and one of our members, invites us to a Kite Flying Festival in support of Burin village at Boat House, Eaton Park.

Pay and Display available in the West Car Park

Bring a kite and a picnic dinner.Please find instructions for how to make a kite and how to donate to help the kids of Burin.

Burin is a Palestinian village in the Nablus region of the occupied West Bank which lies between two Israeli settlements, Har Bracha and Yitzhar. Civilians from the settlements routinely attack Burin, often accompanied by IDF (Israeli Defence Force) soldiers. One of the most significant targets of the attacks is the olive harvest. Human rights organisations have documented the regular attacks on Palestinian farmers, preventing them from reaching their lands and burning and cutting the olive trees, 500 in Burin alone, a vital source of income.The kite flying festival is one way of showing resistance and resilience, a small but significant way of visibly demonstrating our solidarity with the villagers and most importantly, the children of Burin.

So please, please do come and join together as we celebrate the freedom of the skies over Burin! Thank You

“The Green Olive Collective is a social enterprise, tour operator, and advocacy organisation committed to a democratic future and an end to the ongoing displacement of Palestinians. GOC is an organisation of Palestinian and Israeli partners providing communities around the world insights into the oppressive policies of the occupation and the resources to engage in meaningful advocacy.

We are organising this global  initiative in coordination with the  Burin Land and Farming Cooperative. Solidarity events could include creating DIY kites to fly with messages of soldarity on the kite for the children.

Linda was formerly an ABC News Radio correspondent based in London (dual US/British citizenship).  She grew up an American Jewish kid who was sent to cover the tensions between the Palestinians and the Israeli government.  Living in and reporting from Ramallah after the IDF moved in after the Pesach bombing, she witnessed first hand the day to day treatment of Palestinians at Israeli checkpoints.

Norwich City Council has licensed the event.

IF YOU CAN JOIN US WITH OR WITHOUT KITE ON JULY 8TH, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
