I am hopeful for the people of Palestine. I can only go back to the experiences I had in Palestine when I was at the border protest in May 2018 when a young child looked into my eyes and said to me “Why does nobody care about us?” They are the things that keep me going. I still think of those children who were at the border protest. I took photographs of their beautiful brown eyes and their lovely faces. I do not know if they are dead or alive. We have to keep going and we have to have hope for the Palestinian people.
