You just needed a cause to show how great you all are. Alas, we have no Charismatic leaders to drive you but hey who needs them when we have all of you. Just wanted to let you all know that we, in the USA, managed to donnate to your effort! If there is a will, there is a way! You reaching far and wide!

It was an amazing experience to join the others at Cozmo...the pleasant suprise of being part of something huge! Will contact the ongoing 7iber and Aramex campaigns, as I have a group of middle school - eighth graders with two more weeks of winter break and wanting to help. Nas, one request, can you start placing the new posts at the TOP of your blog, instead of stringing them at the end of the Dec 28 one - when people open the blog it looks like nothing new since then...just an idea.

You all provided a format for positive expression of anger, helplessness and created unity. Really, it's BIG. I can't wait to read what you have processed. You all gave a distracted generation a cause, and a way to achieve it. I am astonished, and so proud. THIS is what the Umms and I have been waiting for with all the potential in young hearts to have a way to be channelled for a future good. But as Sec said, sad it took a tragedy. But that is what it takes most of humankind, anyway. Nas, you all (7iber/Action Committee) provided an alternative outlet for all the pent-up emotion in people’s hearts.

I discovered that there is a young, active population just waiting to participate; just waiting for an undertaking like this." It's kinda bittersweet that this collective goodness shows up and is actually discovered at a time of ordeal Gazans are going through... but such honorable, spiritual, humanistic collectively really does prove that Jordanians of all walks of life are innately good! This perhaps is the only catharsis i feel right now, ever since the savage assault on Gaza started. Ya3teekum el3afyeh! “I discovered that Jordanians, whatever their backgrounds or beliefs, can be united in times like these.

What you, 7iber, and the Action Committee did is awesome. Jordan's mobilization is nothing short of miraculous and I am honored to have been a tiny part of it.
