COMET Project



The comet project is support by the villages, the inspirational group set up in the Hebron region of the west bank by both Israeli's and Palestinian's.


The project has been entered into the BBC world's competition 'world challenge' which quite ironically is sponsored by shell. The idea of the competition is to champion new innovative projects which have been implemented at a grass roots level.

Two Israeli physicists, Elad Orian and Noam Dotan, are hoping to bring power to the desert by installing wind and solar technologies to help run lights and fridges for these impoverished people.

Further details about the project can be found here

The olive harvest 2009

We are a collective of individuals who chose to spend two weeks of October 2009 in the olive fields of Burin and Madama, in the Nablus District of the West Bank, Palestine. This page is a tool for the group to store information, events and occurrences that are related to our visit and to show support for and document development internationally towards the establishment of a Palestinian state.
