This event is under the motto "Hope for Peace in the Holy Land". Mukarker, who was born in Bethlehem himself, has a unique perspective on the Situation in the West Bank and is committed to peace between the people in the region.

Faten Mukarker's childhood spent her in Bonn before returning to the West Bank at the age of 19 to found a family there. It is part of a small Christian minority and reports on the challenges associated with the violent conflict situation in the region. Her commitment as a peace activist is shaped by the conviction that both Palestinians and Israelis should live in dignity and under better conditions.

The living conditions in West Bank are currently severely affected by political and economic instability. Mukarker emphasizes that the decline in tourism in Bethlehem has catastrophic effects on the locals, especially on those who are dependent on this industry. The ongoing violence has undermined the hope of peace in many people, and Mukarker's appeal is clear: "Both sides must be able to live in dignity." It calls for an end to the spiral of violence and the recognition of the injuries that have arisen on both sides of the conflict.

As part of this benefit event, Faten Mukarker will also sell handmade carvings made of olive wood, the proceeds of which will flow into projects that are intended to improve living conditions in the West Bank. The event is supported by the EMS Prinzersdorf and the Catholic Education Center. It is asked for voluntary donations to promote the work for peace and hope in the region.

The initiative for the implementation of such benefit events is essential to sharpen the awareness of the challenges with which people are faced with the conflict area and to support concrete aid measures. A common goal of this event is to create perspectives for peaceful coexistence and to promote a dialogue between cultures.

The team of the event asks all participants for support - be it by buying the olive wood carving or by direct donations. Each contribution counts and can make a positive change in the life of the people affected.
