CHEERFULNESS IS STEADFASTNESS

Pictured here: Palestinian girls from Faihaa School smile for a photo. Located next to the school is the Abu Rajab building, which Israeli settlers want for themselves and claim they bought legally. A settler foothold in the area would likely severely compromise Faihaa School and the overall access to education for these girls.
