>Dear Friend,
>
>I am writing on behalf of the Middle East Cultural Association and the 
>National Association of British Arabs, to invite you to the launch of the 
>Windows into Baqa'a exhibition.
>
>Baqa'a Refugee Camp, was just one of six "emergency" camps that were set 
>up in Jordan in 1968, to accommodate the Palestinian refugees and 
>displaced persons who left the West Bank and Gaza Strip as a result of the 
>1967 Arab/Israeli six day war.
>
>In June 2005, the Middle East Cultural Association, returned, for the 
>second time from a delegation to the Baqa'a Refugee Camp, where in a 
>spirit of co-operation, we met with a variety of local people, who share 
>the vision of building bridges of friendship between the Arab and British 
>communities.
>
>Windows into Baqa'a is a unique collection of photographic prints, which 
>were taken in the camp during the 2005 delegation and we believe the 
>exhibition will give you an insight into the social diversity of the camps 
>residents.
>
>There will also be a display of items that represent the broader aspects 
>of Jordanian society, along with information on social developments that 
>are currently taking place within the country.
>
>The launch of the Windows into Baqa'a Collection will take place on 
>Saturday 6th August 2005 and will begin at 1pm with some opening speeches. 
>The venue for the launch will the MAIA Gift Shop, 204 Burton Road, West 
>Didsbury, Manchester, where copies of the prints will also be available 
>for your purchase.
>If you are unable to attend the launch but would like to be kept informed 
>of any future activities that we may hold, then please send your contact 
>details to the Middle East Cultural Association, PO Box 202, Manchester, 
>M21 7WD, the UK.
>Yours sincerely,
