"I am deaf, but I am able to say what's on my mind. Erase your tears, do not cry. I am not indignant. Your sadness for me is a knife in my heart. I want you to actually know me." - Halimeh

Help us continue Music Bus Goes Palestine and other programs in 2014. Help us reach more Palestinian children with special needs, and raise awareness for social change through music. Please donate today. Thank you.

Hamileh is one of the 90 young people trained by Musicians without Borders as community music workshop leader in Palestine, where we now bring music to more than 5000 marginalized children. She is especially gifted in working with children with special needs. Since Halimeh finished our training, she has been working daily with children and adults with special needs, giving workshops in art and music. Halimeh is deaf. By joining Musicians without Borders, she has not only enriched our work with 'special children'; she has also opened the door to other hearing-impaired Palestinian youth to use music to break out of isolation and raise their voices for human rights.

Halimeh also wrote a song together with other deaf participants of our music training. Together with Palestinian rappers they produced and recorded the song:
