PAT IV - Israel and Egypt - 1989
Nof Ginosar - Jerusalem - Cairo - Luxor - Nile River Cruise
Dates: August 5 - September 3, 1989
We must be sensitive to each other’s space, sensitive to other’s movement, to their environment, and we must be sensitive through the environment that we all share. Let’s leave it much better than how we found it. That’s a great job. From the Canadian Rockies to the foot of the great Sphinx to where we stand now, we’ve left it better than we found it. And we are better for having been there.
John-Roger (at the Sphinx)
From 1984 to 1995, John-Roger directed 9 remarkable month-long journeys through Egypt and Israel with groups of 150 people. These trips, called PAT IV and PAT V (Peace Awareness Training), were dream-come-true sojourns for many. Each year's itinerary was slightly different but all included PAT IV processes, numerous Traveler sharing and the opportunity to be on the bus at 8:07.
