Fourth group of EAs
August-November 2003
The Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI) has begun its second year of operations with 19 ecumenical accompaniers, the largest group of volunteers since the programme began one year ago. The accompaniers began their service during the recent escalation of violence in the conflict.

The current corps of volunteers comes from six countries: Canada, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States. The ten men and nine women range in age from 22 to 72 years. Some EAs will be serving for three months, while others have committed to staying in the area for up to a year.
