Even in the toughest of days, there is always time to celebrate.

Happy Independence Day! On November 15, 1988, the PLO, in exile in Tunis, declared Palestinian independence. And so annually it is celebrated, in spite of the absence of independence or freedom here. Oh the irony. As in years past, there was an Independence Day party at the school, with presentations, song, and traditional dance.
