Paul Calvert spoke with Ahmad Al Azza from Sounds of Palestine.



Continued from page 3

Ahmad: I believe we are doing this, but it is hard now to sense it, but in a couple of years you will see it.

Paul: Why do you do what you do?

Ahmad: Because we believe that music makes people better.

Paul: What is your prayer for the children that are coming here and learning the instruments?

Ahmad: We would like to give them an opportunity that we ourselves didn't get in the past. Our families could not afford to let us learn. I would like to thank the original organisation who are supporting this, which is from Switzerland. CR
