From the Players

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

Shimaa  (14 years) 10th grade – “I participated because I love acting. Acting taught me to respect the opinions of others.”

Ayat (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 (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.”

Azza  (14 years) 9th grade – “Drama taught me to trust myself and to trust others.”
