Sorry to hear that!

I wish I had this film BEFORE the project, to show all musicians the goal of this piece... :-)

I hope to be back in Amman to do it again!

All the best,

Merlijn

Prachtig en hartverwarmend initiatief!

[chitchatkathy]

This is a glimpse of hope in the horribly dismal world of Palestinian children.I heartily thank humanitarians like you who bring a ray of sunshine into their hearts & the possibility of overcoming the tragedy of the horrible misery they inherited. It's truly odd that none of them look like potential terrorists as Israel claims & the world sees them. Thanks so much for letting us see beneath the propaganda to witness the innocents' eagerness to participate in a life & vision that can one day be.
