My name is Natalie Tibi, I'm 16 years old, a Palestinian from Jerusalem, I study in Hand in Hand school, a mixed school for both Arabs and Jews, near Beit Sfafa, I speak 4 languages; Arabic, English, Hebrew and French, my hobbies are drawing and dancing the traditional dance of my country which is called Dabka, I also learned ballet and taekwondo, I volunteered in Palestinian camps in Jerusalem for children, and I now volunteer in the barlament with an Arab member, Ahmad Tibi, who happens to be my dad. I also joined the program Kids 4 Peace, for a couple of years, and I traveled to North Carolina with them, to pass on our message of peace. Since I live in a country that is occupied, suffered from injustice and occupation, Its nation is forbidden from the most simple rights in life, from education, health, and much more, that's why I see peace as a solution, so I can see my country feeling the freedom, hope and brightness that other countries feel, and remove the injustice of off it, that's why I would like to attend this peace camp, so I could try to make a change in my country, and I feel this camp would help me achieve this. Thank you :)
