September Activities
Here's a link to a campaign by UNWRA to save a school in the West Bank (on the outskirts of Jerusalem) from demolition (to enable the expansion of the illegal settlement of Ma’ale Adumim)

Would also be great if we could get any schools in Oxford to take this up. Can anyone with links to schools try to do something on this.
Thanks

Saturday street stall: The OPSC Saturday street stall on Cornmarket Street is one of the main ways we use for raising the issue of Palestine with the public at large. It is an important activity for offering information leaflets to the public, inviting them to join PSC or leave their email for Oxford PSC updates. Generally we are there 11:30 to 13:30. Always a minimum of two people on shift. Please consider volunteering for a shift: it’s an opportunity to meet other PSC members, those wanting information and occasionally those wishing to challenge our views, even volunteering for one shift a year would help. Please email ali at OPSCstall@gmail.com if you're able to help.
PS ... If you can only do an hour or so, then that’s good too, email us for information and turn up on the day. Thank you to all who volunteered for vacant slots
Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers
Ali
Charity Run - Diamond Dash & RAL Run-around
On Friday 23rd Sep I plan to take part in a charity run organised by my work, this involves running around STFC’s Rutherford Appleton Laboratory site then dashing around Diamond Light Source. The total distance is approximately 5k.
The event entry fees collected by the organisers will be donated to Africa’s Disaster Emergency Committee drought appeal.
I’m also seeking your sponsorship to raise money for a Palestinian charity ‘Interpal’ and a solidarity campaign ‘PSC’.
Please consider sponsoring me, by cheque to ‘482 Cowley Road, Oxford, OX4 2DP’, when you see me next or by email pledge to alialzoubi@gmail.com. Thanks in advance for your support. Ali
