LIFE BEHIND THE WALL (by Palestinian teenagers)

Designed by 15 year-old pupils at the Friends School in Ramallah with the help of pupils of the same age from 10 schools in Michigan, USA.
Started with some questions posed to the Palestinian pupils by pupils from the Catholic Central High School, Grand Rapids, Michigan and has developed from there.
Well worth a look. Please forward it to teenagers you know.
