we are not numbers

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

Riman Butien

    Riman believes in the American poet Maya Angelou's quote, "Life is not measured by the breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away." Her passion is for learning foreign languages, drawing, painting and education. By working as an English Language trainer with teens, she discovered how important it is to devote time to supporting the next generation as they seek a better future. Riman is currently enjoying learning Spanish. 

    my work

    Parrots and humans are alike; we all dream of escape from our cages.
    I wake up with anticipation. A day at the sea is always special.
