Behind The Wall
Dear friends all over the world,
I am proud to tell about you about my son Mohammad (age 15) and his classmates’ project. They are 10th graders at Friends Boys School in Ramallah. With the help of the same age group in an American school, they are working on a website dedicated to telling stories about the life of Palestinian teenagers, Life Behind the Wall.
Most people all over the world receive news from TV broadcasts and form certain stereotypes, but wouldn’t it be nice for a change if you read a real life version? To know what’s said and what’s kept hidden? Please visit their exciting website http://www.lifebehindthewall.com/.
Please spread the word and forward the address to as many people as possible.
Hadeel Qazzaz
