Minute by Minute

We took the kids (and ourselves) to see a wonderful play last night performed in our little village hall by 10 girls from the Shatila refugee camp in the Lebanon. The play was called 'Croak, the King and a change in the weather' and the cast, accompanied by three local girls, put on a fantastic show. All this was very educational, in a moral and emotional sense, for all involved, but the highlight for my children was meeting the girls and their teachers afterwards and getting their autographs. In return we dashed home and cut a lock each of the kids' hair to give to the young Palestinians, as they showed a great and touching interest in all the children, but mostly in my youngest's strawberry blonde hair. We were able to deliver it to them, in a hand decorated envelope covered with drawings and stickers.We have exchanged email addresses with one of the girls and will correspond with all the girls this way. Can't wait.
