Page 27 from Today's Al Quds Newspaper (Jerusalem)...

This article (Here is the full page in PDF form) came out and I had my interview with 93.6 RAMFM this morning. My arabic homework is to read the article and figure out if it says that I actually said during my interview.

Within the last few days a thousands pounds of marijuana was found in the Dheisheh camp. As Ibdaa is in the midst of a huge summer camp with 50 kids, they took to the streets today wearing matching white t-shirts that say "Where are we?" and carrying several large banners in protest of drugs in the camp. I think they found me the smallest t-shirt that they could and laughed when I walked out of the center barely able to breath. We made our way through Dheisheh and down to the local school where a number of speeches, skits and dances were performed before a quick exhibition soccer match on a hard concrete surface. The dancers performed the traditional wedding Dekba (dance.)

The police just called to check on how many foreigners there are at Ibdaa. Apparently they do this every day just in case something happens...
