The fourth group was from Israel. They were children (13-16-year-old) who were
LD(Learning Disorder),
ADHD(Attentive Defeceit Hiperactive Disorder),
ADD(Attention Deficit Disorder) or something like that.
They came from Kfar Qari that is Palestinian area in Israel, so they were
Palestinian people. They spoke Arabic and just teachers could speak English. We communicated by only gesture with children. This was really rare and great experience for me.
I felt the power of sports. On the first day, we played soccer with some boys. They changed so much through soccer. They started to speak to us, laugh with us and need us.
What I really regret is that I didn't ask teachers about their lives much. This might be the last chance to talk with Palestinian people.
We meet a number of people in our lives.
We don't know who can be a life time friend.
We need to speak.
We need to spend time together.
We need to open our minds.
Then, we can tell it.
