Oxford Ramallah Friendship Association

ORFA builds grassroots links between groups and individuals in Oxford and Ramallah in Palestine

ORFA raises awareness through bringing groups and individuals from Palestine to share their stories with residents of Oxford. Through this we hope to reduce the sense of isolation that comes from life under occupation. ORFA organises meetings with other groups in Oxford providing information and speakers to inform the public about human rights issues in Palestine. We also organise self-funded delegations to visit Palestine and support educational projects in a refugee camp in Ramallah.

SUMMER VISIT

We've invited a group of seven people from Ramallah to visit Oxford from 29th June to 10th July. The group will include two young people from the Al Amari UNRWA school.

We need to raise £7000 to pay for the visit. Can you help?

This project is incredibly important to us. It will help strengthen the links with Ramallah and deepen our understanding of the challenges people in Palestine currently face. It will provide a unique opportunity for the young people and the women involved to share their stories, skills and rich culture and gain insights and connections with local people and groups in Oxford.

Some of the exciting cultural and linking events that are being planned are with the Oxford University Science Museum, the Pitt Rivers Museum (jointly with Palestinian History Tapestry Project), and with local schools and the Cowley Road Carnival.

The visitors will be hosted by ORFA supporters. Costs for the trip include flights at £650 each and visas at £100.
Any donation you can make will really help.
