About
You can call me Jafra, a Palestinian seeks freedom who understood that the world does need any borders.
The meaning of my home town name, Jenin, in Palestine refers to "Gardens" as it used to be very green, oases for agriculture, rich with water, citric and palm plantation. If you check the location on google maps you will see, how it embrace a fertile lowland. The collapsing of the natural and social infrastructures since mid of last century is mainly a result of foreign intervention, (post)-colonialism, power-politics, profit and consumption-culture. The Israeli military occupation is for sure a major obstacle for regional self-development, adding the elite controlled set-up of international laws and legacy-system. In Palestine all global complications and challanges meets together.
After 17 years of living aboard in Germany, I am planing to return there and I think WE will help me to reconstruct and develop my community and home-town with concentrated rich knowledge and spirit for well life for all. Furthermore to share my efforts with a new-age global community developing itself collectively.
Currently I am focusing on an entrepreneur about Co-Create Holistic Green Economy in global Palestine.
Thanks for WE-community , who make this platform possible. Emerging information to serve humanity is the richest capital we have.
Please feel free to contact me. I will be very glad for it.
Jafra (Wael Al Saad)

Hi Jafra, It is great to meet you online. I do understand to some depth the problems you may face when returning home after all those years. It might not be very easy for you to mobilise a local community that you have not been part of for so long, but you have to take the challenge and face it bravely. You might find yourself working against all odds, especially those based on attitudes towards peace and over-expectation on you. However, through sharing of experiences with friends on WE, many such uphill tasks will smoother out. Welcome! Let's share what we can. I once faced almost similar situation where human mind was nothing but war. I worked for 4 years in Somalia, which was more challenging because it was war between brothers and sisters; not external forces. Somehow we managed to organise communities to initiate Education, Health, Sports etc.. committee where there was no government, and revived structures that brought the country back to working systems. Wish you well and let's see how you take off. Best of luck Henry |

Hey, all:
Hey, Jafra: I was first struck by how much you look like Bob Dylan, and from there, it was only a very short jump to 'hey, that IS Bob Dylan'. As a long time big fan of his, it is great to know of newer fans. You recommend yourself by using his picture. Among many favorite songs is one appropriate to our cause, added to the one Davinca refers to, and that is "Chimes of Freedom". Here are the verses: "Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight An’ for each an’ ev’ry underdog soldier in the night An’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing. Tolling for the rebel, tolling for the rake Tolling for the luckless, the abandoned an’ forsaked Tolling for the outcast, burnin’ constantly at stake An’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing. Striking for the gentle, striking for the kind Striking for the guardians and protectors of the mind An’ the unpawned painter behind beyond his rightful time An’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing. Tolling for the deaf an’ blind, tolling for the mute Tolling for the mistreated, mateless mother, the mistitled prostitute For the misdemeanor outlaw, chased an’ cheated by pursuit An’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing. Electric light still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones Condemned to drift or else be kept from drifting Tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless, seeking trail For the lonesome-hearted lovers with too personal a tale An’ for each unharmful, gentle soul misplaced inside a jail An’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing. Tolling for the aching ones whose wounds cannot be nursed For the countless confused, accused, misused, strung-out ones an’ worse An’ for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe An’ we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing." Forty years later, I still cry when I read these words: such power, and hope, and compassion. A friend of mine was among thousands to sing this song on buses on the way to protest rallies. Thanks fo both of you for reminding me of his talent, and to both of you, welcome to WE. David Messages done with sustainable energy, with Wind and Sun! |
