Julia blogs it like she sees it. Monday, July 30, 2012. Lewis is 10 months old (well, 11 months as of tomorrow) and I think he looks so much like Grace at the same age; what do you think? I feel like Lewis reminds me so much of Grace at the same age in his mannerisms and expressions and whatnot as well. Genetics are so interesting! And here is what Grace looks like now, about six year later, with her adorable lack of front teeth:. What a fun day. Thursday, July 26, 2012. What Is Saving My Life Right Now.

INTERVIEWS: MUHMOUD ALI ABO. My family left our home when our town in Palestinian was occupied by Israel on October 28, 1948. I was six years old. When we left I saw the Israeli army that was occupying my town. They had many men and many guns. I saw that all that could mend the situation is praying in the mosque on Friday.

INTERVIEWS: ABDUL RAHMAN MOUNIR AL-ZALEM. 22 years old. From Herak in Dera’a. I have been working in Kuwait since 2004 as a car air conditioning specialist. I went back to Syria to visit, and I got stuck there because of the conflict. We have no house now in Syria, because the government airplanes shelled it. There is no trace that it existed. We had a small orchard with 24 olive trees and 5 lemon trees and 3 grape vines. ABDUL RAHMAN MOUNIR AL-ZALEM. SALIM TAHA AL HAJJ ALI. NASSER HAAMED ABDUL FATTAH.

WAJED: INTERVIEWS:

After that there was the holiday in between semesters, so I went home to Dara’a. I was so surprised with the reality of what was going on there. I didn’t know that people, my people, were revolting and demonstrating. Then the town was besieged by the regime and it took me 20 days to escape and return to university. I’m not making you laugh, you bastard! He said. Go and kneel on the ground. At first I made no noise, but finally I screamed. Stop screaming like a bitch! He yelled at me. BY THE OLIVE TREES.

INTERVIEWS: MOHAMMAD MOUNIR AL-ZAMEL. 23 years old. From Heraak in Dera’a. I defected from the military and joined the FSA because of the killing, the crimes and the destruction. When a protest would start the regime would start firing and arresting people. I was serving in Aleppo, but when I went on leave I just stayed home in Dera’a. My friends in the military defected as well. Nearly 80 or 90 percent of the people I knew in the military defected. Three days later I came to Jordan. BY THE OLIVE TREES.

We came to Jordan because of all of the violence and strikes by the Regime. My nieces and nephews were very afraid when the shooting would start so we left and have been here since February 2012. The camp was very strange to me. People surround you and you can’t leave. It is like a prison. I was very sad, and so I escaped and went to live with my family. ABDUL RAHMAN MOUNIR AL-ZALEM.

INTERVIEWS: ABDULLAH AHMAD AL-HERAAKI. 30 years old. From Herak in Dera’a. I've been here for six months and thanks be to Allah, we don't need anything here. The world outside the camp works and inside the camp we also work. We opened up a barbershop, but since people here have little money, we only charge 25 cents for a haircut. I saw people putting up corrugated metal sheets and so I did the same and set up this shop. I don’t pay rent, but I paid US$75 get electricity. ABDUL RAHMAN MOUNIR AL-ZALEM.
