Hussina Raja, Loretta Addo, Zia Ahmed, Faiza Mukith, Thania Mukith, Zubenur Mukith, Marjan Begum, Jen Marillat are FREE2B. A creative initiative run to learn and collabroate with like minded individuals across the world. The first stop being Palestine.
The magic of theatre allows people to be free regardless of their surroundings or circumstances. The power of the creative mind is beyond the realms of reality.
This project has joined 10 passionate people to join forces and share their skills and gain new experiences from an international perspective!
Phakama have sent myself (Lance Kirby) and Juancho Gonzalez to do and blog the process!

2 days in Palestine
I would just like to clarify that FREE2B's journey is to come and run theatre workshops in Palestine, but we were in Jerusalem (Israel) when I wrote the last blog .
It is our 5th day and we are finally in Palestine. We have now been staying here for 2 days and it is an amazing country to say the least.
We have done two workshops with Karama organisation for women and children's development and YES Theatre, an organisation and a theatre company we will be visiting again before we leave.
The Karama organisation for women and children's development was a pleasurable day spent with welcoming, charasmatic, fun (wild) and happy children. Many of the children did not spaek English but the language barriers did not stop the FREE2B team from working their magic. They did playful exercises with the participants ages 9-15, whilst I slipped away to join and lead some games with the volunteers before we had lunch with director and founder of Karama, Yasser Al- Haj.
