Name: Marina Barham
Country: Israel/Palestine
Arrival Date: October 17, 2012
Departure Date: October 22, 2012

Marina is the general director of Al-Harah Theater, a nonprofit
organization based in Beit Jala, Palestine, which produces
theater that has the potential to change the lives of those who make it and those who watch it. They work with children, young people and women in marginalized areas in the West
Bank, using theater to make positive change in the community and to create a generation of people who express themselves
artistically and freely.

At this point, we don't have Marina's arrival and departure time, but know that she is already committed for Sunday, October 21.

If you are interested in having Marina talk with members of your congregation or a larger community, please contact Lisa Kaufer, Knox Presbyterian Church, 513-321-2573 or lkaufer@knox.org. 

The visits of the PC(USA) International Peacemakers are organized and sponsored by the Presbyterian Peacemaking Program.
