Anas, 21, is a senior in English language education at the Islamic University of Gaza. He works part-time in the fundraising and advocacy department at the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor, the sponsor of We Are Not Numbers. Anas also serves as the coordinator of a network of young men and women who lead community service projects funded by the U.S. consulate general in Jerusalem. "My dream job is somewhere between international development and educational-exchange management," he says. "Writing is essential in both fields; it is how donors get to know why their support is valuable, and it is also how different groups and nations get to know each other."
As the Beatles once sang, “I get by with a little help from my friends.” I have a very special friend who lights up even the grayest of days.
