The LFoH AGM will take place on the 2nd of April. We will give a round-up of activities in 2010 and outline our plans for 2011.
We have a guest speaker just returned from Palestine with a talk focussing on Hebron and with recent pictures and stories about the kindergarten built with the money we raised at our Festival of Friendship last year.

LEICHHARDT FRIENDS OF HEBRON or
PEACEFUL VIGIL TO OPEN SHUHADA STREET
Shuhada Street in Hebron has been closed to Palestinians since 1994. This is why, on February 24, 2011 members of Leichhardt Friends of Hebron will join people of goodwill in an international day of solidarity with the Palestinian residents of the city of Hebron.
They have one simple demand:
“Open Shuhada Street! End the Occupation”.
