Fwd: Harun and Togetherness Manifested
by Becs Swist 21 Apr '21

21 Apr '21

Hello all! Please see below a request for donations for the family of Harun, who was shot in the neck by Israeli soldiers on the 2nd January this year. He happened to be in the wrong place when Israeli soldiers confiscated a generator and trashed solar panels from his neighbours. After they shot him, they just drove off, leaving him in a pool of blood. He has been in hospital since then, but there are some improvements. Our friends at HIRN and The Villagers Group are working with the family to help them plan for the future and continue standing their ground on their land. I have requested a small amount from the Cowgirls fund to donate, but if you have any spare pounds to give I am sure that would help, too! Details as to how to do that are below. Thanks all! Becs ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: The Villages Group <villagesgroup1(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, 21 Apr 2021 at 08:53 Subject: Harun and Togetherness Manifested To: Ehud Krinis <ksehud(a)gmail.com> Dear all: It was such a lovely night tonight. We had a wonderful Iftar with the family of Harun Abu Aram in their cave in Al Rakeez hamlet. Yes … they are still there DESPITE repeated demolitions and the almost-death of Harun. We (the Group and the Harun Family) were united in humanity. Harun, what took place to him and the countless hours we have spent over the past four-and-a-half months trying to secure a better future for Harun with multiple hospitals and people with authority have fused us into one bigger family. We did not feel like outsiders. We felt part of the family. WE WERE ONE. It was a good chance to discuss the multi-layers of the Harun condition; we discussed his current health improvement as we have received the delightful news that he can breath on his own now, his blood pressure has stabilized and he is off addictive medication. There is a light at the end of this tunnel. Now we are looking into the possibility of removing him to a rehabilitation center ….. it took us a llllllooooooonnnnnngggggggggg time to get to this stage. While we are looking into the next stage, three parallel developments are taking place. They are as follows: 1) Improving the living conditions inside of the cave in Al Rakeez as the family have expanded the space inside of it through digging it from the inside. Currently the area of the cave has almost doubled. The family is currently waiting for additional building materials promised by the village council to finalize work inside the cave. 2) As the prospects of releasing Harun (we are at the early stage of this) are increasing, the family is currently working on establishing a suitable room that is compatible to Harun’s condition in the city of Yatta. We are working with the family to make sure that the building process takes into consideration the exceptional needs of Harun in terms of mobility, ramps, wider doors, specially-designed bathroom and multiple electrical sockets, among other things. 3) We are working with the family to provide them with a dignified source of income to enable them to face the mounting expenses related to Harun’s future medications and the impact of the loss of one of the main breadwinners for the entire family. We also have a breakthrough into this issue, *but we need your help to reach our goal*; the family have requested from us the assistance to secure a herd that would cost an estimated 50,000 shekels ($15,375). At the onset of the proposal, we said “ wwwwwoooooowwww ….. we can’t afford THAT !!!!!!!”. Yet, nearly only two days after that, we received the excellent news that a friend of ours would be willing to put forth 25,000 shekels IF AND ONLY IF we manage to raise the remaining 25,000 shekels. It would be GREAT if YOU could help us out to raise the matching. You can use one of the links listed below. Why are we reaching out to you again??? Because YOU already ARE part of the Harun Abu Aram family …… and that is what families do ….. they stick by each other. Looking forward to bringing you more good news about Harun and his family. All the best. *For donation, in the US, you can use this link and get tax credit https://www.nonviolenceinternational.net/donate_hirn <https://www.nonviolenceinternational.net/donate_hirn> (using HIRN's Name)* *In the UK, you can use our alliance with Amos Trust using this link * *The Amos Trust - Donate now <https://cafdonate.cafonline.org/7827#/DonationDetails> *(using HIRN's Name) *In Israel, please contact The Villages Group for details. * The Amos Trust - Donate now <https://cafdonate.cafonline.org/7827#/DonationDetails> *.*

Spare boots suitable for City Academy
by Susannah Mallaghan 26 Mar '21

26 Mar '21

Hi all, At the meeting last night, we discussed how it would be handy to have a collection of spare boots suitable for City Academy to facilitate newbies trying it out without having to buy new boots. Harry also pointed out that you can rent boots from City Academy but we didn't know if this was restricted due to Covid. Anyway, I have attached the Approved Footwear guide, if you have a spare/old pair you would be happy to donate, please let me know and what size they are. Thanks, Soooooz

Cowgirls AGM
by Becs Swist 16 Mar '21

16 Mar '21

Hey folks! It's about time we have a Cowgirls AGM - in fact it's waaaayyy overdue! So: let's meet online (Zoom) on Thursday, 25/03/2021. 8pm. Please be there - I'll send out a link (and reminder) closer to the time. We'll definitely be chatting about training for the next year (as in after the summer), and committee roles for the next year. If you have any other agenda items please let me know and I'll make sure I'll add them! I'll send out an agenda (and another reminder) about a week before we meet. Minutes from the last QGM and notes on the roles available in the committee are attached. If you're unsure what this whole AGM stuff is about, here's something shamelessly stolen from an email Soooooz wrote a wee while ago: The AGM is a really important meeting for the cowgirls. As well as discussing our plans for the year we also review and agree the committee for the following year. Therefore it's really important as many people attend as possible. Even if you are new to the club it would be great for you to come along. You can just observe the meeting or get involved, but its a great way to learn more about the club and what's going on behind the scenes. Any member of the club can volunteer to become a committee member and we actively encourage everyone to think about it. No experience required and you will get all the support you need. I have attached an overview of the committee roles. Happy Friday all! Becs (interim chair)

Fwd: A Report by Erella on Yesterday's Demolitions in South Hebron Hills
by Becs Swist 04 Mar '21

04 Mar '21

Hello all, I'm sure some of you also get regular updates from the Villagers Group, but in case you don't: The Villagers Group are a group of wonderful humans from Israel who are building bridges, friendships and are supporting Palestinians in their struggle for freedom of the occupation, mainly in the South Hebron Hills - and have been doing so for years. I have had the pleasure of meeting Erella and a lot of the others a few times. This update from Erella really moved me this morning. So I thought I'd pass it on - maybe as a reminder of why we have links with Palestine, or that we should plan another trip sometime maybe... Hopefully see you in the virtual Plough tonight! Becs xx ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: The Villages Group <villagesgroup1(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, 3 Mar 2021 at 19:04 Subject: A Report by Erella on Yesterday's Demolitions in South Hebron Hills To: Ehud Krinis <ksehud(a)gmail.com> 2/3/2021 Dear friends all, It’s evening. Just got back home from the South Hebron Hills, and am still reeling from room to room, like some plaything that has been wound up, in an attempt to calm down. Now I stare at the computer screen trying to write something. I get up to make myself a cup of coffee. I pace again. Sit down at the computer again, and can only write how I cannot write about what happened today. Nothing out of the ordinary happened today. Several homes were demolished in the South Hebron Hills. I was there again today. At 9 a.m. we came to A-Rakeez. Farsi, whose home has already been demolished three times, whose son Harun was shot in the neck by a soldier 2 months ago, ran to us, pointing to the road. We turned our heads and saw the familiar destroyer convoy – a bulldozer followed by the Civil Administration car and military vehicles. Shortly they will be busy demolishing. We just don’t know where and whose home. The locals say it will happen at Khalat A-Dhaba and at A-Rakeez. Khalat A-Dhaba it was – for the fourth time, the home of Jaber and his brother Omar. The fourth time in a year and a half. Then they proceeded to demolish the home of Khathem at A-Rakeez. Again, we see the bulldozer crushing a humble abode with one blow of its blade. Poof, and an entire life collapses into the rubble. We watch from a distance - the occupier does not like being disturbed in his work – and experience for the Nth time the pain of those who cannot hold out a hand to prevent the destruction. We drove on to Jaber, to hold out a hand. Two weeks ago, we sat with him on the porch of the home he had built after the November 2020 demolition. I asked him what happens if they demolish again, and he answered: “I’ll rebuild”. Now he faces the rubble and says: “I’ll rebuild”. Ilan of the Civil Administration harasses him personally. When he came this time, Jaber asked him: “Have you come to shoot me as you shot Haroun?” This is how we stood for a long while, listening to Jaber give interviews to Palestinian media people who curried to the scene. If only this pain could be broadcast in the occupiers’ media, I thought. When we visited 2 weeks ago, I brought Jaber a photo of a fledgling dove on its first flight. I told him: “Peace is not in our hands, but our freedom cannot be taken from us, and this fledgling dove symbolizes it.” Today I asked him where the photo was, and he said: “In the rubble…” He fell silent, then added: “But they cannot destroy my freedom”. Erella, On behalf of the Villages Group
