World Health Day in Ramallah

As a means of introducing OV to the Palestinian people, OneVoice Palestine's youth leaders organized a day of public outreach in Ramallah for World Health Day.

OVP staff and volunteers today visited  the hospitals, health centers and rehabilitation centers in Ramallah holding a basket full of green apples, referencing  the proverb “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” They handed out the apples and OneVoice brochures to all the doctors, nurses, patients, and families.

The green apples represent health in the world, and drew a smile on the faces of all who the volunteers met. It was such a small action, but it was a great way to reach out to normal citizens and let them know about the other work that OneVoice is doing in Palestine.
