Hello alissandro I am fine , busy with the school , I am finishing the subjectes with my students , and preparing for the final examination , and I am looking and waiting the summer holiday , because I am tired from teaching , any way it is really nice to hear form you , and to know that you are starting to study arabic , it is really wonderful, I hope you will be good in arabic , I also know arabic is not easy but if you like the language you can learn fast , and roby tolled me that you are taking lissones it seemes nice so good luck , and also with your examinations. And to study two months in Damascus , it is good but it is hard if you want to comeback to palestine , so I don’t know what you should do , so I hope you will not have proplemes with this , and for your visiting in November , you are wellcoming any time , maybe we can have a chance to talk more, but I think it will be hard , because of our habites and tradition , ok you asked once about if the girl can travel , or if I can visit italy , well ali you sow mhannad my brother and I am sure you liked his mind and the way of thinking , and as you know he is pflp , but believe me he cant live away from the habites and tradition , even I don’t blame him , but I will tell you something, when mohannad had the chance to go to italy he was very happy and we where talking a lot a bout this with my uncle , and mohannad had the chance to take a girl with him from the camp , and this trip has lotes of both girles and boyes they go from my university so my uncle toled him you can take manar with you , specially my father will not say no because I will be with my brother and you could know what happened ? mohanad sayed no , he cant take me with him , and he talk with a girl from the camp to go with him, I remember this day I was very sad from him , ( he can go with girls ) you know why ? because he is ( MAN ) sorry for all what I say, it is a lot but I really feel sad a bout this ??

hi alessandro, i talked to amira and lucas about the film and none of us have seen it. we're trying to collect documentaries in the office so it would be really wonderful if you could make us a copy. do you have the pengon address? how is work on your documentary going? you must have a lot of footage to go through. not much good news here. the army continues to come to dheisheh almost nightly and have regularly arrested people. it was passover and easter last week so jerusalem was crazy with tourists here for holy days. many american jews walking around waving israeli flags. lots of press came to dheisheh in the past few days to see the refugees reaction to bush. they put ziad on bbc news. alright, i should go back to my piles. (i got through all the ones that were out when you were here but now am working on amira's office) take care and thank you.

josie and i haven't forgotten about the contact for the Canadian Film Festival. It's just been a little crazy lately because i had a big proposal due last week for Ibdaa. I will be back in Ibdaa on friday the 23rd and will hopefully be able to send you the information then.
