Palestinian children welcome any opportunity to get their message to you. They are neither human shields nor terrorists. Theyre just kids that want to enjoy being kids. Ive included some footage of Palestinian refugees, children, so you can see their human faces up close. Some info about the event that took place: November 25, 2011: United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East: UNRWA: Mount of Temptation, Jericho, Palestine - Hundreds of young people from United Nations schools in the Jericho area created a massive aerial image in conjunction with the world-renowned artist, John Quigley, sending out a peace message to the world. Directed by aerial artist Quigley, who has created mass images from groups of people for over a quarter of a century, they gathered at the foot of the Mount of Temptation just outside Jericho in the shape of Pablo Picassos Peace Dove. John Quigley worked with local assistants to create the grid for the image that the children would form. Persons from all over Jericho volunteered to help the artist prepare the image on the day before and in the early morning of the day of the event, from refugee camp officials to Bedouin families living nearby the canyon where the Peace Dove was created. John Quigley went around the UN schools in Jericho the day before the event to ask the children to take part in the image. Hundreds of children came to the canyon because they wanted to help Quigley on their day off, not because their teachers had told them to go. The event was organized by UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees and the Peace on Earth project.
