Educational Trip to Europe
Donation protected
Unfortunately travelling at the moment is not the best thing to do, so I will stay at home too and really hope to be able to come to Germany next year. Until then I will leave this campaign open. All the best for you, stay safe! :)
Who am I?
Most of you already know me.
If you don’t know me, my name is Echlas. I am exactly like you. I have dreams, hopes and a great generosity but I was born and grew up sitting in a wheelchair! This makes it hard for me to travel but I’m still keen for the challenge of another experience in my life. What you must also know is that I am a refugee in my own country, Palestine!
Why crowdfunding again?
Angela Davis said “You have to act as if it were possible to radically transform the world. And you have to do it all the time”.
In the past I organized two types of crowd funding, one type of them to receive support to go on with my studies, which is an important part of my life.
The second type of crowd founding was to carry out a tour in Catalunya and spread my project in Palestine to have an independent live, as Palestinian refugee woman in a wheelchair. During that time I did thirteen speeches in different cities, participating in film festivals, public language school and many social centers. Now is the time to go on with it in other countries of Europe.
Which is the next project?
As the visa of my last trip to Germany in 2019 is still valid I would like to take the opportunity and come back to Germany, but also travel to Sweden and Spain. During my journey I will hold lectures on Palestine, but especially on my own experience and situation as a refugee in Bethlehem. To spread my project to as many places as I can, is a way not just to promote the solidarity around and teach people about my land Palestine, it is also an opportunity to share my experience with all that people who live in a wheelchair and who are fighting for the dream of living an independent life.
That’s why I want to come to Europe this summer, to bring my voice and improve the solidarity web that I create 27 years ago.
Why do I need your support?
For my travels I will need some money, for the flight to Germany as well as to Spain and Sweden where I am invited to hold workshops. I need approximately 250€ for the ambulance from Bethlehem to Amman, for transportation in Europe like train tickets, for food and to cover the costs of living. I will be staying at my friends places for most of the time, which makes it cheaper but there will be a lot of costs to cover during the journey.
Please help to realize my project, I appreciate any amount you can contribute. If everything works well, I could leave around the end of April.
Many thanks for your generosity,
The payment goes directly to the bank account of Marlene Pick, who’s a close, reliable and trustworthy German friend. She will help me to organize the trip.
In case I will not be able to travel for any reason whatsoever I will use the money to be able to fund my physiotherapy in the long run.
