dear world.
i'm a child who was born in a refugee camp, i'm a child who doesn't know his father because he was killed in a massacre in lebanon while this child was 2 months of age, and this child doesn't know either what's meant by freedom.
do you wanna know who is this child?
it's "ahmad".
i'm from hayfa, i don't know what does this place look like i just know it's in palestine and my grand parents were living there one day.
i go to school daily, our school is not like yours.
we don't have playground but we have fun by playing football in the class, and we don't even know the computers because we don't have labs.
in winter, you have heats in schools but we don't, many of us get sick because of the forst.
do you call this a school? despite all of this we thank god daily.
i don't have iphone and we don't have TV.
actually i call my grandma a TV
she kept telling me stories about how was her life before 1948.
her life was awesome and full of happiness. but life have become to all palestinians zero after they were forced to leave their country, she told me they came to south lebanon by walking and her sister died while they were walking because she was pregnant and she just had a labor.
my grandma got sick,doctors said: if she get an operation, she will get better.
we don't have money , we did our best to make her get better but we failed because she died fter 2 weeks.
i have Inherited from my grandfather THE HOPE.
we shall return to Palestine.
my mother works as a maid in one of the lebanese families , she wants me to become a succsesful man, and because i love my mom i work on this.
i always dreamt to become a pilot and my mom encourage me but seriously if i became a pilot, where would i work?
palestinians don't have an airport, and i'm not allowed to work in Beruit's airport because of my nationality.
our camp consists 24,000 refugees , we don't have electricty and we wash our faces twice a week because we don't have water. is that fair?
dear world.
how long will take until we get back homes?
how long will take until the united nation recognize PALESTINE?
we don't hate jews , we hate zionists
we want to live in peace but when we get back homes
Sincerely.
peaceful child
