The daily surprise of survival – with so many enemies, so many rockets, so little protection from the government, so little support.  I can’t get over how strong and resistent the people here are.   Every time I speak with the children I’m overwhelmed by what they are living through.  The north right now is getting constant attacks, and my friends who have burinesses in the north have been supported by the purchases of the people in the rest of the country. 

It doesn’t mean they live a normal life – but somehow they’re surviving. They are helped by the newscasters on tv who give out their information and interview them.  Free advertising.  Wonderful!
