Messages of Peace

On November 15, 2016, the third grade class at Wahat al-Salam - Neve Shalom primary school received a very special surprise from Italy: a package full of letters and beautiful drawings from children who attend the Nino Pernici primary school, Riva del Garda, province of Trento.

Raida Ayashe-Khatib, the school’s English teacher and a member of Wahat al-Salam - Neve Shalom, showed these messages and drawings to the children. The students compared the pictures and, with the help of Raida, translated the kind and thoughtful messages, written in English. The Italian children told how they hold the WAS-NS primary school in their hearts and send warm greetings to all.

One girl in the class exclaimed, "I really love these drawings and I hope we can send them our drawings in return!" Such is indeed the intention. The Primary School students are very grateful about these connections with children around the world.
