Sarah (Maria Fidelis) organised an evening reception at Maria Fidelis for Maria Fidelis and Abu Dis teachers to meet each other.

We all enjoyed our meetings and conversations-  Maria Fidelis teachers feel that it was of great interest to meet and talk to our Palestinian colleagues, and that we learned a lot by our meeting.

We hope that we can keep in contact and make links between our two schools, teachers and students.

Thank you for visiting our school and helping us to start to understand how life is for Palestinian schools.

UNRWA links with Camden

There have been strong links between Camden and the UNRWA School Abu Dis since 2005, when the first Camden Abu Dis group visit went to the school. This photo was taken back in 2006, on the day when the internet was put into the UNRWA School, thanks to the efforts of Camden Abu Dis Education Links. Since then there have been many contacts and many visits in both directions – teachers, volunteers and students as well as other visitors from Camden who have admired the UNRWA School.

Now (in September 2008) we are looking forward to special links between the UNRWA School and South Camden Community School, and also between the UNRWA School and Maria Fidelis School.
