Peter Mann (Presbytery of Minnesota Valley and founder of Import Peace) joined internationals to help this farmer harvest his olive crop. The help is acutely needed because he, like many other farmers, is not allowed to bring other Palestinians or large equipment to his land. This trip was organized by the East Jerusalem YMCA and YWCA of Palestine.
