[OSList] Open Space for Palestinian refugee women

[Hege Steinsland]

I saw the pictures on facebook yesterday and I was really encouraged by it. Its so great to hear you telling a bit more about it in this mail.
Let me quote from a text written in a area close to you:

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness...

Al the best from
Norway
