Globetrotters in Chester

Presents

1. Beth Gibbons – Open Bethlehem

   I visited Palestine/ Israel on an Alternative Pilgrimage, staying in Bethlehem and Nazareth in October 2015. I spent the majority of my visit meeting with local people and organisations working for peace with justice. The trip was life transforming and I subsequently became a Bethlehem Ambassador. The slides will show Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Hebron, Nazareth, Jericho, Haifa & the Galilee area. The talk will include information about the opportunities and the welcome visitors will receive in Palestine. I will also provide information about places to stay and organisations that can provide an authentic experience of the rich Palestinian culture which survives despite living under military occupation.

2. Barry and Cynthia Green – ‘A Journey through China’.

   Images from a tour of China visiting historic sites, iconic landscapes and modern cities giving a flavour of life in China through the ages.

   Barry is a retired engineer and Cynthia, a retired librarian who both volunteer at the National Waterways Museum, Ellesmere Port as well as travelling to interesting places.
