Photo Voice

Ten Palestinian children from the village of Al-Walajeh, near the city of Bethlehem, were given cameras and trained to take photos which explored their village and told some of the stories of their lives.

On the occasion of International Youth Day 2013, the children shared their photos, their stories, their lives. One of these was teenager Layali who photographed one of the games children play; "Palestinian vs. Israeli army", which mimic the home invasions, arrests and violence that the children witness in the village. She also documented the weapons that the Israeli army leaves in the village and how children play with them.
