In parallel of the olive season in Palestine, Deanship of Development and Community Service at Palestine Technical University – Kadoorie organized a voluntary activity to cultivate the olive trees of the University; deans, students of community service along with volunteers participated in the event.
Disseminating the culture of voluntary work and enhancing citizenship among the students and university staff were the two basic aims of the event, as stated by the Dean, Dr. Maan Khatib.
“Olive season in Palestine has a unique, national-cultural specificity as it has always been linked with the Palestinian history and identity constituting an emblem of consistency against all Israeli types of sever actions and arbitrary procedures attempting to displace the Palestinians out of their aboriginal lands,”he added.
