Palestinian Heritage Day
Yesterday students and staff at the Evangelical Lutheran School in Beit Sahour held activities for Palestinian Heritage Day! Many students dressed in traditional Palestinian clothing and throughout the day there were activities, song, dance, and food to celebrate Palestinian heritage and history. The day’s program was planned by school staff and students from the leadership team. Thank you to all for your hard work!
November 15th marks the day in 1988 when the Palestinian National Council, led by then President Yasser Arafat, proclaimed the Palestinian Declaration of Independence for a State of Palestine within the 1967 borders. During such a difficult time in the Holy Land, it is more important than ever to keep Palestinian culture and heritage alive for the next generation.
