Morgan Cooper Totah is an American married to a Palestinian First Christian who has been living in Ramallah for 20 years.
Handmade Palestine is a project they developed. It encourages over 30 artisan groups as a fair trade initiative and is life sustaining for many. It also raises funds for a second project, Mashjar Juthour, a sustainable nature preserve transformed from previously degraded terrain. A unique arboretum in Palestine, it is a sanctuary for trees, wildlife, and community.
She will share stories about these two projects as well as the challenges of living under Occupation. |
