On Our Way Home-10

Jalila Al Azraq (Um Qasim), 80 years old, lives in the Aida Refugee Camp in Bethlehem. Originally from the Arab village of Al-Qabu, now transformed by Israel into a park dedicated to former Prime Minister Menachem Begin, she was forced to move when 9 years old. She has never returned to her village and would like me to bring her a piece of fig tree to plant in the refugee camp.
