An overnight trip through the Negev desert in Israel took us from sweeping crater views in Mitzpe Ramon to the quiet, daily work of care, agriculture, and advocacy. Through visits to Sde Boker, ADI Negev Rehab Center, Bedouin agricultural projects, and a Bedouin woman’s home, this journey became less about landscapes and more about the people shaping life in a place often misunderstood as empty.
