St Margaret's, Nazareth
1st - 17th July 2010
Alongside local clergy and leaders, the Highway Projects team will help to lead 2 weeks of the 3 week Diocesan residential summer camp.
The team will work daily with 50-100 Christian children and young people drawn from the Anglican churches of Israel and the West Bank. Team volunteers will contribute Bible stories, singing, sport, drama, art and craft skills as well as conversational English.

2009's team leader Matt Wright writes about last year's project:
"St. Margaret's balcony presents a beautiful view of the old town of Nazareth down below. Inside the building there are friendly, approachable staff, and lots of energetic children. This year we led activities for them in the morning, including craft, drama, dance, puppets, games and sport. In the afternoons we swam with (and were half-drowned by!) the children, and in the evening shared in their worship. It was during the times between these events, where we just hung out with them, that we got to know them best, through things like playing Uno, arm-wrestling, face-pulling, eating with them, you name it. Unlike many Western kids, these ones took a real interest in us and actually wanted us to be there.
The local leaders were very flexible and encouraged us to utilize our gifts and passions in trying to make the camp as memorable a holiday as possible for the children. Most striking of all is that we’d gone there to show them love, but I think we were more blessed by the ways in which they loved us.
St. Margaret's is simply top banana. If you come here you will be challenged, and you will be changed. God has His hand on this place".
