Noha Zaneen

    Noha is a seeker of a better life and in that quest, she is persistent and patient. She says: “I believe miracles happen every day for those who constantly strive, and that every one of us has a mission to leave something good behind.” An English-literature graduate from al-Azhar University, Noha works as a freelance translator and writer. She aspires to travel and pursue advanced studies while representing her beloved Palestine. Noha believes the power of words is irresistible. “I aspire to inspire before I expire!”

    my work

    In Gaza, winter with its loveliness is a source of hope.
    During every new crisis, this one day in 2008 haunts me again.
