Palden Jenkins

I am based in West Penwith, Cornwall, UK, and regularly visit Bethlehem, Palestine.

My work currently has three main branches:
  • humanitarian work in the Middle East and social change in Britain;
  • communication: writing, speaking, broadcasting, photography and websites;
  • knowledge and insight: counsellor, adviser, historian and geopolitical expert.

I'm a pedigree 1960s veteran (Liverpool and LSE), with a long, consistent track record. I'm nowadays a 'social philanthropist' helping Palestinians create outreach solutions and make progress. My latest book Pictures of Palestine - a freelance humanitarian in Bethlehem comes out in 2010.

Broad and deep insights and perspectives, with a nose for underlying trends and future possibilities. Creator of innovative projects and organisations, author of six books, editor of 50ish books, humanitarian webmaster, conceptualiser, teacher, seer, consultant and public speaker.
