A letter from Tamer "the Sad

Dear Friends, sisters and all brothers,

I am Tamer I am from Palestine I'm 18 years old, nearly 19. 

I would like to inform you that Karama organization has produced a
film ; the film talks about the suffering of the Palestinian children, and what were the effects of their attention to the military actions.

The aims of this film are to secure the establishment of Karama . And show how Karama tries to keep and save the children from the military zoom. Also this is the story of the way that Karama started, and shows some of Karama's activities.

The film will  be for sale, but the money that you'll pay will be as donations from your heart to help Karama continue in drawing the smiles on the faces of the children. Please order your copy by contacting me at my email address mail to: bbf_im@yahoo.com   or by phone number 00972-2751313

A Story from the Internet for the Children who visit Karama, Deheishe Refugee Camp, Palestine.

By the way did I tell you about Jabbeke?
Yes, didn't I?
Do you remember who he is?
Indeed, a little boy who lives in a tree, beyond the horizon, the tree beyond the furthest tree you can see and in that tree there is a nest, and in that nest, jabbeke lives.
Jabbeke is a very special boy, he never does kaka and he flies without wings.
But that is not only the special thing about Jabbeke, you know what else he can?
Jabbeke can make eggs!!!
But in those eggs there is no eggy ellow or egg white, no little chicken or a duck but... a little tree…
Show me your thumb and your finger, and bring them together, a little closer, yes, but still a little closer. Sooooo small are the trees in Jabbekes eggs
And when Jabbeke makes little eggs, they stay three days in the nest, after those 2 days, they open up, you see the little trees, and Jabbeke takes them one by one and flies to the dwarf village.
You know dwarfs, don't you? They live in mushrooms with a red head full of white spots. But you knew this, didn't you?
Yeeeeees!
Well those mushrooms they grow in the woods and that is why the dwarfs have a very
big garden and when Jabbeke arrives with a tree they make a little hole in the ground and they plant the tree. After that, Jabbeke eats Jabbeke cake with the dwarfs, Jabbeke cake is cake with cherries and with a mountain of fresh cream.
When he puts the top of the cake in his mouth, he always gets an a white-cream-moustache, sooo much cream is on the cake.
And they drink lemonade, this hard red one, and afterwards everybody has a red tongue en they show their tongues to each other to see who has the reddest tongue.
And they dance around the little trees, which become big later.
Some trees become very big, and they are very very old, soooooo old, like a 20 million years...
A lot isn't it? And when they have danced too much and they are tired, all the dwarfs go asleep, and Jabbeke flies to his nest to sleep until he has to make the next egg...



OUR FLUTE PROJECT COULD SLIP AWAY UNLESS.......

Dear friends:

The flutes project is the first flutes project in Palestine, and because of that we “Karama administration”  gave this new project our attention and importance, in order to teach  our kids a new kind of music, which is not available in the refugees’ areas, and even its new for Palestine.

Karama’s music project started two years ago, and had a very successful development, and so many children between the ages (9-16) were able to share that great project with us, and got to know how to use and to play different kinds of  music instruments, but unfortunately, the economical situation became worse and worse for all the Palestinian people, and working as a volunteer became some thing impossible, hard and couldn’t feed human. So the Palestinian musician volunteers left Karama to find their living and took all their instruments with them, that was something unpreventable, because Karama is a starting organization, and cant offer any small payments for any volunteers.

few months ago, I made some communications with some friends from the U.K, and they managed to collect donations through a church in England, which were enough to buy only three-secondhand-flutes, and I found it very sad, if we own this kind of instruments, but cant find a teacher who would teach the children how to use and play it. And because of that I asked you to help us with this project, and hoped you would  help these children to fill their time with something interesting and useful.

The flutes project:

We will start this project  if there is any good teacher, who would teach that kind of music, but if not, then it would be a very sad thing to keep the instruments without any useful effort. and if this flutes’ project succeed, we will try to find a way which would help us in sending the children who took the lessons and knew how to play the flutes, to go aboard and play what they learned.   

If you are not flutes’ teacher, but you could help Karama with other kind of music teaching, that would aslo be great, because Karama is interested in all the music supports.

Please let me know what do you think.

Yours’

Tamer.

   note:

we need from the volunteer to bring his expensies. we will not be able to pay for his travelings' costs. but we could offer a place for the visitor to live until he lives.

 

The Sad smile  will be happy if there will be justice and love with peace Black Pen Friend/Tamer - we are all human beings.. .. .Palestine   phone NO. +00972-2777108
