Today marks the halfway point of our time here, and the EVE Team has spent the past week walking alongside courageous women who have endured unimaginable pain. Through the EVE program, we've listened to stories of deep suffering—but also of resilience, hope, and quiet strength. While we cannot change the past or erase the trauma these families have lived through, we believe in planting seeds of healing and helping foster small but meaningful steps toward renewal and purpose.Immersing ourselves in the rich culture of the Middle East has been both humbling and heartwarming. We've been embraced with open arms, nourished with incredible food, and welcomed with a generosity of spirit that continues to move us deeply.Today, we paused for a day of rest—a chance to breathe, reflect, and take in the beauty around us. Our local partners graciously treated us to a relaxing day by the water, complete with falafel sandwiches, fresh salads, and joyful moments together, even in the 40-degree heat! Plenty of water and laughter carried us through.We ended the day with a shared meal, meaningful conversation, and a quiet evening of rest. Tomorrow we turn our attention to the children’s program—recharged, grounded, and ready to continue this important journey.Gillian
