We spent the last couple of days doing the finishing touches on the mural and preparing for the big parade on Friday. The parade was an amazing experience! Most of the children dressed up, painted their faces, wore masks or crowns and carried one helium balloon containing a wish. We then marched all around Silwan, past the settlements and released the "wish balloons" into the blue sky.
On our return, the children performed for their parents. It was pretty special and amazing! I'm really going to miss the kids….
