good evening everyone im mohammed daher from lebanon. Beofre I came to the uk i though i would have problems with everyone. I couldnt imagine myself in all the places that i went to and all the people that i met. I was in a restaurant one day having my lunch and there was a woman on the same table who asked me to watch her baby for 10 minutes, i know thats boring to be a baby sitter but thats not the point. My arabic features are obvious, and before i came here i thought the people, when they will see us, would run away saying terrorist or something like that, because thats what i was asked about in my visa application. What i want to say is that we must stop the previous judgments and let the kind people of wales, scotland, london, lebanon and the world be onscreen. Thank you.

5 AM again.. We’ve been used to wake up early and to do many things, to accept many things as well… We must to be used now to accept that new person who lives inside us… A person painted by the offscreen’s fingers , strong, kind, smart, who can communicate easiely with others. So 5 AM we leaved wales, and we went to Eton college, we walked into the first classroom in the world ( as a student and a teenager, we know that it’s a place that can make you happier).. No sincerely it was an interresting place, a strong building, built in 1400, and it stills strong… What I realy can’t forget the painting in the chapple..It was made by fn it our artists, and coverred with white for hundreds of years , and they destruct part of it ( the men’s side), and they discovered the rest of it later… It will maybe be my last words, so i want to say goodbye to the UK peopole, i know that I will leave but a part of my heart will stay here with all the kind peopole of Scotland, London, Wales… My heart will stay here because i trust you all.. A part of my soul will be with Jamie, Stephen, Barney, Anu, Aya, Roberts, Janna… ( My family in the UK)… I will take with me that new person that I gain……..
Thank you all.

Wales… The town of books … It was the most interresting place after Scotland, because I’m realy interrested in Litterature, and I was watching for the first time that I will touch the english litterature.. The most important thing was the time that we spend at the globe center, we met there 8 british students and we worked together on making covers for our sketch books, the point that it was important because it was an other way to know more about the UK… We saw the Uk in their eyes, and they saw it in ours, and the same for the middle east…

And finaly i’d like to thanks MRS Ania…. I love your collage.

Yesterday we was in Manchester United club , It was wonderful and exciting . i was very happy and every body was .

5 AM… The Day starts. Inverness Airport, then to Manchester.. We went there to Islamic schools, we had an interesting chat with the students, the main topic was the Hijab, in the girls school, what did led to continue the religious chat later at the dinner… The positive side it’s that we had a way to contact more with each other, but it doesn’t mean that we found any solutions or anything new… Same words, different people, that’s how the world is going, a soft war where the people left their guns, and focussed on choosing clever words and accents to approve that they’re right… Anyway thanks offscreen for the contact. I wish if we could pass from the contact to the understanding level…

The environment… It’s a place that we must respect… Because we are part of it, it’s a miracle as well… The earth, our last bed.. I’m talking about respect because only peopole who respect themself and the clever peopole as well, can help the environment and protect himself and the humanity finaly…
today we helped the tfl ( trees for life), it’s a programme to protect the nature ( especialy the trees and forests) in Scotland. Our job was to cut some trees that don’t realy belong to the area, and realy dangeorous for the other trees, the fantastic skottish trees like the skottish pine… After they will cut all the trees they will plant other trees.. It lets me remind the activities that i’m used to hear about it in my country, to protect the cedars, the heart of our national fllag, and the heart of Lebanon…
Lebanon, scotland or anywhere i learned today something important, and i think that we need to apply it in all the world.

It was amazing to make art and mix between nature and man-made stuff. It remided us that we cant live without something authentic … something true, pure… We love it because it reminds us that we are part of nature, that we must protect our environment. We made a wonderful butterfly from leaves and stones because I love butterflies. I love to imagine that i am a beautiful butterfly. We also made another piece using a candle, internet cable and batteries. It shows the power of life and how people make wars to have the artificial power when we are surrounced by the power of nature. Me and Mohamed were a great team and we enjoyed it very much. Acutully we made a beautiful gallary with many wonderful pieces.
