The Holy Land Trust

I thought that you might like to see what the Holy Land Trust looks like. Let's start with the most important part - the people. From the left - Marwan, Dima, Rana, Elias, Osama and Rafat. We usually share lunch together here. 
The building before renovation
The Holy Land Trust moved to a renovated two-thousand year-old building in the heart of Bethlehem’s Old City, in May 2012. The building’s five floors provide ample space for the continuation and growth of HLT’s projects, beginning with the development of a Peace Research and Learning Center (PRLC) to create a Bethlehem-based gathering place for global research, publications and learning on issues of peace, nonviolence, conflict resolution, transformation and healing. Scholars, experts, and peace studies students from within the community and from around the world will bridge theory with practice in one of the world’s most volatile and complex conflicts.

This is where I hang out, usually at the desk on the right of the picture. 
How is this for a rooftop view. We are only a few minutes from Manger Square and the Church of the Nativity.
