My friend Rosemary, who is French and also married to a Palestinian, invited us to join an afternoon hike followed by an iftar, to break the fasting during this month of Ramadan, organized by the Palestinian Association for Mountain Sports Development (PAMSD). I took my recorder along and on the way I talked to two of the organizers and tour guides and several of the participants about how hiking and climbing is becoming more and more popular among Palestinians. There are several initiatives that organize hikes and climbing and with PAMSD you can also practice in their indoor climbing hall in Bethlehem. I am going to add some links here to the initiatives mentioned in the podcast. Check them out and follow them so that in future visits to Palestine you can join their activities!
