The activity and team EJE have made my stay in Palestine, one of the most rewarding and happy experience of my life.
EJE is one of the few Palestinian NGOs that establishes “accountability” as a master principle and maintains a sound financial ethics. To work in EJE to work in the current political and societal Palestinian context is very rewarding. EJE maintains the principle of discipline and rectitude that one feels how necessary it is, and generally the key to any future Palestinian state.
Jacques Neno has surrounded himself with a dynamic team , open, welcoming to the extreme and funny. All of them have become dear friends in no time. All the members of EJE have made a real effort to welcome us, and to help us to better understand in-depth Palestinian culture. It help us to adapt very quickly, well beyond what that required a period of 5 weeks. Jacques demonstrated great flexibility in relation to our own project and our expectations and allowed me to invest myself in the finalization of a photo exhibition at Al Arroub refugee Camp which for me was a great adventure .
EJE and its employees gave me the opportunity to make wonderful encounters and have moments of great emotion, feeling always accompanied. Its environment and its very mission- to give Palestinian children a childhood- held the promise of daily, magical and unforgettable unique moments. They made my departure from Palestine heartbreaking, but at the same time gave another meaningful dimension for this coming year in France.
I intend to stay in close contact with EJE, and want to return to Bethlehem as soon as possible, Inshallah!
