East by... Even Further East...

Six Dalhousie students were among approximately 25 student leaders from across the country who participated in an all-inclusive trip to Israel from December 15 to 23 - which was not in any way paid for by the DSU. Throughout our stay, we toured the region and developed impressions as to the challenges for peace in the Middle East. Politicians were met with, journalists were questioned and holy sites were photographed. Here are some pics. If you were wondering if there are more on Facebook - you guessed correctly.
