we are not numbers

emerging writers from Palestine tell their stories and advocate for their human rights

Ahmed Elqattawi

    I am 24 years old and live in Deir Elbalah, but I am originally from Gaza City. I graduated from the Islamic University of Gaza with a bachelor’s degree in English literature. Independent, critical thinking is important to me.

    Besides my work as a freelance writer, I work as a business-English community mentor at Gaza Sky Geeks, which is a leading co-working space, startup accelerator and technology education hub in Gaza. If you need writing services, ِI can do that with love and care!
    .
    I have immense interest in conflict management, gender advocacy, sociology and psychology. I believe studying psychology is truly needed to understand how to change behavior.

    The Palestinian spirit of struggling for what is rightfully ours will always remain.
