Obada Abu Oda

Obada Abu Oda (14), was here, and not anymore. A resident of Al Shati refugee camp. Participated in the Hands Up project, and wrote a poem that is currently on display in an exhibition in England: I always dream of a life clear as the serenity of the sky, And a heart beating with love and optimism... Why our smiles do not bloom like the flowers?! Let us fly freely as those butterflies... Satisfied, colourful and flapping sky-high, away from worries, anxieties and sorrows. Killed in a bombing. .
