As an act of solidarity and support for farmers who have lost their livelihoods consider buying them some young olive trees. It is will make an excellent gift.
In the spirit of Gifts that Keep on Giving, we have set up a way to buy an olive tree for them on behalf of a friend or family member. If this sounds great, or confusing read on.
In the West Bank land restrictions and orders to uproot their trees makes life so hard. The farmers with our and the support of many NGOs are non-violently resisting these conditions and orders via peaceful demonstrations and legal process. But we all know they may well lose this battle, just as we know they have lost before. And even when they win it is still hard to continue.
We want to bring some positivity to the situation, and we want to share an opportunity with you to get involved.
You can buy them some fruit trees to replace the ones they have lost, and towards the ones yet to be lost.
Because this is Gifts that Keep on Giving you can buy the trees as a gift for a loved one, while giving the trees to the farmers on your loved one's behalf.
