Something from the Actresses

Fatima Al-Khdoor (13 years) 8th grade - “I learned to believe in what I do, so others would believe in me.”

Ayyat Manasra (12 years) 7th grade - “Being in a group is hard for me. I am shy. But with drama it became easier. I’m still shy.”

Amira Manasrah (14 years) 9th grade - “I am more courageous than before and now I am making speeches on the school radio while before I had no courage to do that.”
