Documentary

Today was a normal work day but I think, if we keep going at the rate we are, we'll be nearly finished with the cistern by the time the children's camp starts. Willy will probably be able to finish it after Thomas and I leave. Thomas is leaving in 6 days so tonight we all got together in Jerusalem, ate some bratwurst, etc. as a kind of goodbye party for him. It was a good time and now we're all just hanging out, tomorrow we'll head to the farm early in the morning to work again.

Nearly every day, tour groups or families come to visit either to spend the night or just to learn a little more about the farm and to hear about the Nassar family's story. A group came earlier in June and there was a guy filming and making a documentary about the farm. All the volunteers were hanging out on the roof, I was playing my uke and the Germans were playing backgammon. The director came up and asked if he could film us just doing what we were doing. I found out yesterday that this documentary made it onto PNN (Palestine News Network) and it's now posted both on Youtube and the PNN website. Here's the link to the Youtube video:

It's a dece documentary, pretty short, and it has some shots of the Germans and of me which I thought was just hilarious. We all thouroughly enjoyed watching it, the Germans love the scene of them playing backgammon. Hope you guys get as much joy out of it as we did/you can learn a little more about the farm. Ma salaama.
