•It’s an unrwa school between Jericho and Jerusalem, the students are from four Bedouin communities it was built from tires filled with mud desert, and it is a sign that the Palestinians are holding at home and to their dreams , looking forward to science and education .

Dream killersThe Israeli occupation forces issued a decision to demolish” al khan al ahmar school “ known as the “school of tire” in relation to the tires that it

was built from , to prevent the development of construction or repair.

TwinningThere has been a twinning between our school and AL khan al ahmar school andwe were asked to participate in the campaign “Don't demolish my future!” that happened to to save a West Bank school from demolition ,by going on our facebook accounts and support with a like or a comment .

Seven and a half year old Eman stands in front of her school which is under threat of demolition by the Israeli authorities, maybe as soon as next month. Eman told us that she loves learning English and kept repeating the alphabet song when we met her. "I always come to school I never miss a day," she said. "When I'm olderI would like to become a teacher and teach sports," she added.

There are many memorable days in my life, But the

teacher’s day is the most glorious and unforgettable one.

On that day, turns have been exchanged between students

and teachers. As well we are students , we were very

happy , First of all because we had to choose a teacher to

teach instead of her , Secondly , Because we didn’t have to

wear the school uniform while we’re teaching .

I was an English teacher instead of my mother. I enjoyed it

very much, though I felt tired after I ended my lessons.

In addition, it was a great experience we have benefited

from. We’ve realized how teaching is hard and tiring.

Therefore we have to respect our teachers and appreciate

their efforts.

And teach them that waste water after treatment can be used in specific areas , it can’t be drinked ,because it doesn’t lose all the impurities, bacteria and viruses , but can be used to irrigate some crops, and in factories that uses water.

The word impossible has different meaning for each one of us, what’s impossible for someone may not be impossible to you.

Actually nothing is impossible the word it self says “I’m possible “ !

How many times have you been told that you can’t do something because no

one did it before ?

Now tell me, who was the first one to reach the top of mountain Everest before Edmund Hillary ?

Actually no one did it before him , he was the first one ! And once he did it hundreds succeed in doing it !

You don’t succeed because you weren’t trying hard enough,

You don’t succeed because you weren’t trying hard enough, and you weren’t trying hard enough because you thought that you can’t do it, and you thought you can’t do it because no one did it before .

So don’t give up it’s all about the belief ,, ☺

•One rainy day, a mother went to pick up her boy from school, thinking that the boy will fear the lightning. On the way, she found her child smiling at the sky for every lightning. She asked him why he smiled, “God is taking my photo, so I have to look good. That’s why I smiled.” So smile when problems threaten you, don’t fear anything. GOD is always with you.

mind about school and my friends …

I had many great experiences in the school; .. The best class trip to Ajlon , I had so much fun with my friends, in the bus we were dancing , shouting ,singing and acting crazy .

The best moment in the school in general was when I received my certificate of excellence for being a good student .. another funny moment was when I was little ,, I was walking home from the school and there was a pole in front of me ,, I didn't see it ,, so I walked right into it !

and it can be found all across the country,

particularly in the southern city of Kerak . From

June to July is the season of black iris, it is a

short season, if you miss it, you have to wait

It blooms in the spring with

dark black petals , we

Opportunities come to some people and open for them a lot of ways to their future. I had a lot of opportunities in my life, but the best one for me was my visit to Spain.

My trip’s story started after I won the elections of the Children Municipal Council of AMMAN , then I was chosen to travel to Barcelona to represent my city Amman there , so my principal told my parents and they agreed.

6

After that, I met my group and we had alot

of sessions in Greater Amman Municipality

to prepare ourselves.

We went to Spain to participate in a

Peace Camp. We went there in 17th.Oct.

When we arrived to Barcelona’s airport we

first met the Brazilian group , then when

we arrived to the camp we met the rest , we were 8 groups ; Amman , Brazil ,

Mozambique , Italy , Mexico , Argentina , Bangladesh , and Vitnam. We had a lot of

fun there because everyday we had a city presentation ,in which each city group

presents their country and their culture.

we also had a lot of activities , we were distributed into working groups , each one in

the group was from a country . one of the activities which I liked most was Reduce

Reuse Recycle , in that activity we made a fashion show from some used clothes , we

made from those used clothes some useful clothes by cutting and sewing them. Then

we showed them in a fashion show and it was so much fun. We talked about many

important things such as Human Rights , we visited the city Barcelona and we visited

many places in Barcelona and the best trip was when we went to Camp Nou . We did

a lot of projects such as the cultural diversity cube which we talked in it about each

countries culture , and positive and negative manifestations . We came back in

30th.Oct , so we spend there two weeks and those two weeks were the best two in my

life.

I had fun, learned new thing, had new experiences, and met many new people. I wish

that I will have another opportunity like this ! that I will have another opportunity like this !

Feel free to chose which name suits you. The Arabs call it Lake Tabaria, after the town next to it called, Tabaria. In some English maps, it is called

Tiberius, which I'm guessing is the "old name--i.e., Roman or some such thing, and Christians and Jews call it the Sea of GalileeThe picture I took is looking from the Jordanian border straight at Lake Tabaria. To my right is the Golan Heights.

Lake of Tabaria is the largest freshwater lake in palestine (used by Israel) and it is approximately 53 km (33 mi) in circumference, about 21 km (13 mi) long, and 13 km (8.1 mi) wide. The lake has a total area of 166 km2 (64 sq mi), and a maximum depth of approximately 43 m (141 feet).At 214 metres (702 ft) below sea level, it is the lowest freshwater lake on Earth and the second-lowest lake in the world (after the Dead Sea, a saltwater lake).The lake is fed partly by underground springs although its main source is the Jordan River which flows through it from north to south.Israel's National Water Carrier, built in 1964, transports water from the lake to the population centers of Israel, and is the source of much of the country's drinking water.

Increasing water demand and dry winters have resulted in stress on the lake and a decreasing water line, at times to dangerously low levels.The Lake of Tabaria is at risk of becoming irreversibly salinized by the salt water springs under the lake that are limited by theweight of the freshwater on top of it .

I hope that one day I can visit it and drink of its water !!!

Our school gives us a lot of opportunities which entertains and supports the girls ,one of the most important activities is The Orchestra .

The National Music Conservatory chose our school to nominate some girls to let them join the orchestra group ; Fourtunately I’ve been nominated to be a member of this group .

The first day for me there was an unforgetable day , they gave us a musical test to rate our musical skills , so I’ve been chosen to play The Double Bass instrument, the first class for me was amazing , because it made my dream come true by teaching me how to play the Double Bass .

After a year from my experience in the conservatory , we joined in an activity with “ Yes Academy “ to play in a big concert . I was so excited to be with them , after the concert I took some pictures with my teachers in “ Yes Academy “ and they gave us an award , in that moment I felt so proud .
