Jamila Jad - Beirut, Lebanon (Global Lives Project, 2009)

Excerpt from the Global Lives Project http://globallives.org

Born from a Lebanese mother and a Palestinian father, Jamila Jad
inherited the nationality of her father. She is one of 400,000
officially registered Palestinian refugees in Lebanon. Jamila was born
and raised in Shatila refugee camp in Beirut, where she attends public
school and dreams of becoming a doctor. The oldest of four children,
Jamila shoulders many responsibilities at home. Her father has been
fighting Hepatitis C, and her mother works a cleaning job to keep the
family afloat. At the time of her GLP shoot in 2009, Jamila was
nine-years-old.
