ICWeekend - Fun Days...

We arrived at nice and comfortable Cabin at Dagali, Geilo Friday Evening from different places in Norway and the world..As this IC Weekend was organized by Bergen ICY …As there were some from Bergen ICY and Oslo ICY, while the rest were GoCY’ers from Palestine and Kenya, and CfC from Norway, Armenia and Madagascar…



Friday Evening was relaxing..getting to know each other..playing games…While Saturday morning we started the day by outdoor activities, playing with snow..digging holes and snow cave ...Sliding at the snow..one by one,, all together..it was really fun at Sunny day!!

Continuing the day by playing UNO my favorite game..but it was different and difficult rules than I know! But it was really interesting to play with all of them…a lot of fun!!

As well as we have had good and useful activity..as we make workshop of three groups and discussed about Environment and consumption..




Still playing UNO and UNO …many times without stopping from this interesting game!!
Here come the strangest activity at the end of the day, at the night…we have informed that we are going for another outside activity, and looking forward to know what it is! Three International groups carried flash lights, papers and pens..ready for the Great activity as I think , which there were different posts around the cabin,, the first one was- create International song, dance or poem about peace..while we are walking among the snow..I felt like swimming in the snow at the dark..falling down many times and feeling cold..but without caring and continuing the posts, which was the second – create international snow man while the rest where, determine the international maps, characters and places…all posts were under the theme of Peace!!

Sunday, playing more and more out with snow..UNO…having fun…so it was really wonderful week with everybody there..And I’m completely sure that everybody went home glad and thankful for Bergen ICY..And I'm so glad that I got an International Friends from great countries that I have never think that I will meet nice people from these countries..

So all I can say that we arrived at the weekend as strangers and left it as close friends...and wish if we could stay longer together!

School Day....

When I just arrive the school at early morning and saw the students walking and moving here and there ..at the corridor, at the classes rooms…some of them waiting their lessons to start, while some still playing not caring  …So directly I remember myself before some years ago when I was a student just like them, studying and having fun with our friends..our classmates..the real friends from school…like brothers and sisters…these moments are really have touched my heart and give me the feeling of Missing School and to be students..

Of course the school here is completely different than our school..the rules, the uniform as they can whatever they would like…and most of the students have their laptop with them at their desk,,in the class!! Some of the subjects as well and different issues…

Anyway, my visit to the middle school was to talk about the situation in Palestine, as I have started from the morning by visiting seven class as I guess, one by another..all the day  As I have talked about the current situation with some videos about Palestinians Kids and how they are spending their tragedy life, how they are treating by the Israeli Soldiers, comparing with the Norwegian Youth..As well as how the tourists spend their life when they visit Palestine..Olive Trees Uprooting….So every class was different than the other, different questions…different interests…Many students has started to think more of their life compare with our life..As well as how many students has started to think to visit Palestine!! It’s my pleasure to feel that changed some attitudes!!

How was this day such a special experience at school day with the students and the teachers..how it was hard, strange and Great Feeling at the same time to still talking about my lovely country, and trying to be strong while the tragic situation continuing in my country,, and thinking and talking about my family, friend and all the Palestinians and what they are facing everyday…While most of the students questions were why we don’t kill the Israeli as they are killing us??!! Why I have to go home?! To the bad situation instead of staying and live in the Free and Peace Life in Norway?!! While some of them wanted to know some of my experience with the Violence from the Israeli..It’s give me sad feeling to remember my worst experience with the soldiers..

In spite of the INJUSTICE …UNFAIR…TRAGIC…SAD situation we, the Palestinians live in..HOPE will never disappear from our hearts….Never Give In…FREE PALESTINE….MISS YOU PALESTINE…!!!!
