On Thursday 5th December the Amos Trust tour “Steal all the Flowers” came to the Philadelphia Church in Sheffield.
The tour took its name from the poem Oh Rascal Children Of Gaza by Khaled Juma
Oh rascal children of Gaza,
You who constantly disturbed me with your screams under my window,
You who filled every morning with rush and chaos,
You who broke my vase and stole the lonely flower on my balcony,
Come back –
And scream as you want,
And break all the vases,
Steal all the flowers,
Come back,
Just come back…
The Tadhamon Singers performed 6 songs during the event, which also featured a discussion with Hala Hanina and Ahmed Alnaouq from Gaza and the beautiful music of Saied Silbak.
Ahmed co-founded We Are Not Numbers, a project that empowers young Palestinian writers by helping them share their personal stories in English. The book can now be pre-ordered.
Here are the Tadhamon songs.

Only Justice and Equality can bring Peace
