A "school run" in the West Bank: ecumenical accompaniers visit schools as the students travel to and from the schools, to protect the students from agression and intimidation from Israeli forces and settlers. The Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI) is a programme coordinated by the World Council of Churches founded in response to a call from the local Heads of Churches in Jerusalem that brings internationals to the West Bank. Since 2002, over 1,500 volunteers have come for three months to be Ecumenical Accompaniers. Accompaniers offer protective presence to vulnerable communities and monitor and report human rights abuses. They join Palestinians and Israelis who work in nonviolent ways for peace and support the local churches.
