18 March 2019, Bethlehem, Occupied Palestinian Territories: Ecumenical Accompaniers from the World Council of Churches' Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel spend the morning doing a 'school run', by which they offer a peaceful protective presence for Palestinian children as they go to school at Al Minya.  With Israeli settler communities nearby, strong military presence, and a high-speed road passing just by the school entrance, an international presence can help ensure safe passage for the children.
