Description
Mazen is a young Palestinian boy who wanted to play in an area with more light and space. However, his mom didn't allow for him to go outside their small neighborhood as he was still too young. Mazen didn't let that stop him and decided to go to the roof where he could feel the warmth of the sun and had more space. He started going up there every day and would make kites with messages of freedom and aspirations of Palestinian children. The planes gave children of the neighborhood a sense of joy and peace!
Why we love it
