In the darkness of Yanoun reality changes on the hilltops
By the Yanoun team,
My watch tells me it is just after 2am as I lie awake listening to the unmistakable sound of a digger moving rock after rock, being the only noise breaking the silence in the early hours of this September morning. Every once in a while, the sound of the digger is overpowered by the sound of barking dogs, brought down from the hilltop by the wind. With the darkness as shelter, the invisible work on the hilltop continues. It is impossible, after sunset, to know for sure what is happening amidst the houses and barns little more than a stone’s throw away from my bedroom. What will be changed when the first sunbeams strike the olive trees?

A tale of a house with walls the colour of the sky
By the Jerusalem team,
Once upon a time, there was a house. Its outsides were red, the colour of bricks, and its inside walls were blue and white like the sky.
