Ashar, United Kingdom

I hope to show through my actions that I will take in the future how much every aspect of this journey has opened my mind to the situation in Palestine. Every person or interaction that I have had throughout the program has affected me in various ways and it is extremely difficult to write about how passionate and inspired I am by the people that I have met .I am unable to see the beauty of Palestine but I honestly feel that the beauty of the people will live forever in both my mind and my heart From the students that I have taught, to the inspiring people that I have learnt from I have felt more welcomed in this country than I have ever experienced before in my life.

The stories and the situations that I have been exposed to have touched me in a way that I will never forget, I have developed as an individual and continued to learn the importance of working with people from different backgrounds, faiths and ethnic origins. I have such an amazing amount of respect and admiration for everything that zajel is trying to achieve and I hope that I can play a role in supporting the goals and aims that the program tries to accomplish.

Through educating generations of students to come and take part in this program you will enable freedom and liberation to be more than just theoretical concepts I do not know when but I will return, please keep in touch with me and tell me about how I can assist in improving any aspect of your lives. I cannot thank you all enough for everything that I have been part of on this trip.
