October/November 2008. Join the olive harvest in Palestine! A fantastic way to learn about the lives of ordinary Palestinians living under occupation and to help in a practical way. Zaytoun, who we work with to sell the olive oil, are organising a two week trip for the 2008 harvest. If you want to know more about what it's like, look at the olive harvest blog on the 'Voices' section of this website, e mail us or contact Hilary for a chat on 07818040982.
