Amos Trust is a small, creative human rights organisation, committed to challenging injustice, building hope and creating positive change.
What can a group of women, from cities thousands of miles apart, almost all of whom don’t speak the same language, hope to gain from spending a week together in the UK? Karin Joseph talks about some of the reasons why Amos’ on her terms campaign are so important.

October is breast cancer awareness month and we’re asking the women of the UK to stand in solidarity with our sisters in Gaza by hosting a local event to raise awareness and support amongst family, friends and neighbours throughout October, November and December.
Join us for a series of very special Advent carol services this December with peace activist Zoughbi Zoughbi, founder of Amos partner Wi’am Reconciliation Centre and campaigner Lucy Talgieh who leads the women’s work at Wi’am. Joining them will be 6 members of Choir of Bethlehem on their first visit to the UK. All proceeds from these services will go towards Amos Trust’s Christmas Appeal for Wi’am’s women’s work and their Christmas ‘Smile’ holiday programme for children living in the shadow of the Wall.
“When I come into Nicaraguan airspace I can feel my soul re-enter my body.” Those of you who’ve been there will resonate with those words of Nicaraguan author Gioconda Belli. I felt something similar when I returned there in February, co-leading the recent Amos trip.” Peter Bone shares his thoughts about his return visit to Nicaragua.
