Together On Our Way…
The Theme for ARK III is “Together On Our Way…”. We captured timely topics that address the most pressing issues that face the future of the Palestinian young people, as well as the Guatemalan and American youth. It is their hope for peace keeping in their lifetime.
ARK III was held on August 8-22, 2005, in Bethlehem, Palestine. It was most challenging for the participants of ARK. The continuing crisis in Bethlehem has left a city that has been seriously wounded by the ongoing conflict in the region. Rubble from the siege of Bethlehem that began in the morning of April 2, 2002, is still visible along the roads and land. A wall that twists and turns around and throughout this ancient, historical and sacred city continues to threaten and isolate those whose homeland this has been for generations.
