I love Alquds- Jerusalem, especially the old city where you can see a multitude of people, colors, and religions interacting together and even for a moment, people look at each other as beautiful human beings.
I want people to feel how important they are. Every human being is a change maker and nobody has the right to say I can't do anything. I hope to see free people enjoying fully of a world free from stereotypes and respectful of human rights and values, where everybody is equal partner in making a change so that everyday that comes would be more beautiful than the day that goes.
