But at least you tried and you have given your children the oportunity to experience Gazaan life from the inside. And you have given them the chance to live in a Moslem society, and I'm sure that will help them grow up as Moslems in Sweden.<BR/><BR/>Please keep on blogging! <BR/><BR/>I also have a request - more photos. Both of what Gaza City looks like and of your apartment. I'm currently decorating my apartment here in Morocco and it would be so nice to know what houses in Gaza looks like. And I agree with UmJannah - it would be nice to see what the Hijab-fashion looks like in Gaza. *lol*Nejmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15793379253443667802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18095232.post-1134591164218796912005-12-14T21:12:00.000+01:002005-12-14T21:12:00.000+01:00THANK YOU ALL so very very very much.

The family I stayed with in Gaza had three children, and the youngest just got a full scholarship to go to college in the U.S. How bad can the schooling be if it got him to that level? I guess I am also surprised because I thought kids go to school six days a week in Palestine. It seems to be a serious business there compared to the U.S. I don't know what the schooling is like in Sweden however. Maybe Sweden's educational system is vastly superior to both the educational system in Palestine and in the U.S.Anne Rettenberg LCSWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08924529514196589677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18095232.post-1134438004071720922005-12-13T02:40:00.000+01:002005-12-13T02:40:00.000+01:00Imaan,I'm going miss your entries about Gaza, but ...Imaan,<BR/>I'm going miss your entries about Gaza, but I wish all the best in the world for you and your family.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953987598174110453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18095232.post-1134423531443965582005-12-12T22:38:00.000+01:002005-12-12T22:38:00.000+01:00Thank you, Imaan, for your honesty during a tough ...Thank you, Imaan, for your honesty during a tough time.
