Olive Oil from the Holy Land

Help bring peace and justice to the middle east by supporting fair trade practices, eating healthy and delicious food, and socializing with friends and neighbors! 

We invite you to an Olive Oil Gathering with American Friends Service Committee.

Ziyarat az Zeitoun ("Visiting the Olives") is an educational and advocacy project that highlights Palestinian culture and current political realities on the ground in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, where Palestinian farmers face the loss of access to their land and the uprooting of their trees due to the occupation.

Wafa Shami, middle east peace education coordinator for the AFSC’s Los Angeles office, will host olive oil gatherings in Portland October 10-12. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to learn about the situation of Palestinian farmers, sample fair-trade Palestinian olive oil, and purchase olive oil and soap for yourself or as a thoughful holiday gift.
