It was great to be able to stay for a short while with Alex & Lisa Snary & their children Tuya & Zac. Alex is the World Vision Israel & Palestine Country Director. We know Alex & Lisa from Mongolia days. Interestingly our history goes way back to high school days as we were friends with Lisa's mum & dad Julie & Mac Calvert. In fact Julie virtually introduced me to Sue at the Hamilton Girls High School 5th form dance, from where it all started!!!
This blog is not intended to be any sort of policital statement.
However Pete was able to meet with Alex's World Vision National office staff. These are a group of mostly Palestinian, lovely,friendly young people. While the time with them was brief, one could not but be moved when hearing of the indignities and difficult, frustrasting, and often dangerous situations in which the team operates while carrying out their aid and development work amongst the poor.
