Pieces of Peace TIGer Mai from Palestine has passionately addressed in her blog about how she would like to see peace in her country. She writes, "I want change, I want the situation in my country to change, I want the way people act there to change, not everything, just a tiny bit of change that is enough for us to start building, I need to be part of the building of this country, I want it to start happening in my lifetime." We would all like to see peace in Palestine and the rest of the world. If you share the same sentiments with her, read and comment on her blog! |
