Squaring circles

Iris mailed me.
'Do not worry, Ine. You will square the circle in the end.'
She made me smile.

Today I had the feeling I might be.

Had this amazing talk with an organisation 'Language Connections'
They are exactly on the same golfwave are we (Sigal, Tamar and I) are with our 'Snow in Jerusalem'-project.

For me, they were the missing link: a bunch of enthousiast Jewish Israeli and Israeli Arab teachers that want to have children tell their stories.

I got in touch with them thanks to Marlene (Tamar's mother).

So this little project might get rather big. Instead of the 6 little kids we are now talking about 120 kids writing stories.
A blogging system will make the system work.

And there we are: on the one side an organisation that needs funds, on the second hand Daheisheh kids that want to write, on the third hand funds waiting to be implemented in a serious thing, on the fourth hand even a radio crew that is really curious about this project, on the fifth hand the digital artlab that wants to cooperate and on the sixth hand a blogging system.

Let's put our hands together and see what happens.

It is exciting to see that because of us, because of our linking and talking, our seeking and wanting, something might be happening.
We know we won't change the world, but we may make a difference for 120 kids.

More news on it soon...

(And yes, sometimes it is scary, because one day we will have to materialize the thoughts and make it work. I can tell you that very capable persons are involved. And knowing that is a relieve.)
