Bethlehem 10K run for dancers from Refugee Camp

Dabke Youth Dance Visit 27th June 2018 to 8th July 2018 WE DID IT ! Hi, my name is Alex. I am volunteering for ORFA since March 2017. To support my charity me and other member joined the Palestinian Marathon and completed the 10k run - thanks to your generous support we were able to raise £309. We are very grateful to everyone who donated. The final event, the visit of Dabke Dancers in Oxford, is happening in June - which means we still have time to raise more. Support me to bring to Oxford one person from group of 12 Each penny matters! Background: Oxford Ramallah Friendship Association (ORFA) is a charity which builds links between civil society groups and individuals in Oxford, UK and Ramallah, Palestine. ORFA started in 2003 and became a charity in 2014.

The visit will provide an opportunity for young Palestinian refugees to show their creativity and hard work to UK audiences.
