Logistics

You are responsible for arranging your own flight to Israel/Palestine. Please note, we will be arranging a bus that will make pickups in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv and will arrive at the starting point of the Walk on Thursday May 29 at 8:30 am. We recommend arriving earlier in the week to adjust to the time change and Israeli climate. IPCRI will make arrangements with some Jerusalem hotels for reduced rates for pre- and post- Walk the Green Line events.


Fundraising, Registration, and Money


In some ways, the most powerful educational impact of the Walk the Green Line  is the walk itself - being in Israel/Palestine and seeing the country from a new perspective, the challenge of the walk itself and the taking part in an event with special political significance. We could ask you to pay a registration fee, cover the Walk's costs, and call it a day. But we don't, because fundraising is central to the Walk's broader impact. The Walk's proceeds work far and wide to create the kind of world we want to live in. While the walk itself is an amazing experience, one of our keys goal is to raise money to support the Walk's beneficiaries: IPCRI - the Israel/Palestine Center for Research and Information.

Each participant is required to raise a minimum of $2,500 or 2,000€, students registered in Universities will be allowed to participate if they raise at least 50% of that amount - $1250!. Spouses and life partners of walkers, those under 30 years old and those who are visiting Israel/Palestine for the first time are asked to raise a minimum of $2,500 or 2,000€ while Israeli and Palestinian citizens living in Israel or Palestine are asked to raise a minimum of $1,250 or 1000€.

All fundraising is coordinated online through Paypal - http://www.ipcri.org/donate.html.  Donations can be made by credit card online or can be mailed in (see contact information). In addition, we send each participant a guide to fundraising with tips, suggestions, and sample fundraising letters (for an online version, see our fundraising page).

Registrations costs are as follows:

                                 Registration Date                                Fee
Early Bird                        February 1 - April 1                        $500
Standard                        April 2 - May 10                $550
       

Your registration cost plus an additional portion of the amount that you raise is used to cover the costs associated with your participation. The Walk covers virtually all of your costs while on the Walk in Israel/Palestine including hotel stays, three full meals a day plus water and mid-day snacks. The walk is fully supported with professional guides,  and security, medical personnel, accompanying vehicles, transportation of all of your luggage, as well as your transportation back from the final point of the Walk back  to the Tel Aviv or Jerusalem area at the end of the Walk.

Your registration fee is non-refundable. If you drop out before May 1, you may roll over half of your registration fee towards your 2009 Walk the Green Line registration.

You are responsible for your flight to Israel, as well as any costs prior to the Walk or after Saturday - May 29.2008
