Note to Reader Friends School Introduction what is it like to go to school in California? Do kids play soccer in Oakland? Do they have a big playground? Do the kids know how to speak Arabic? Do their teachers speak English? Do kids there like falafal and hummos? Do they live in apartments or houses? These questions and more were all things we discussed as the students at Friends Girls School in Ramallah worked on their parts of Children Without Borders and “met” their partners from Park Day School. Children Without Borders prompts our students to consider a world outside their own, looking past differences and seeing common ground. The wall disappears between them and they express themselves with no inhibition or prejudice. They go above the adult world of politics and see a common future as a new generation in the world—hopeful, happy and free. It has been my pleasure to work this school year with the Children Without Borders team on the tenth anniversary issue of this unique publication. Our 4th, 5th and 6th grade students have enjoyed writing articles, making acrostics, taking photos, and responding to the interview questions from Park Day School students. I would like to recognize the efforts of my English Department colleagues for their assistance with this project. We greatly appreciate Park Day School’s continued engagement with Ramallah Friends Girls School. Our students are eager to continue to reach out and learn about the day-to-day lives of the students in Oakland, California. Happy 10th year, Children Without Borders!
