 children of Gaza and their struggle to hang on to hope for a better future

The film follows Musa, a charismatic teenaged kite-maker in the village of Seifa,

KNOW planning meetings are open to all who share our vision for peace.
 We meet every 2nd and 4th Thursday at 5:00 pm at the First Presbyterian Church,
 321 West South Street, downtown Kalamazoo, Michigan. 
Park and enter in the rear of the building, and we meet on the second floor library. 
 The 4th Thursday meeting is an informal pot luck.  There is NO pot luck meeting in January
 because of the MLK event that evening.

KNOW has a vigil for peace every Sunday at noon in front of the Federal Building,
 corner of Park and Michigan downtown Kalamazoo.
 This has been ongoing since before the invasion of Iraq, without missing a Sunday.
 Please stop by.  If you can only come for a few minutes, come at 12:45 pm to hear updates on upcoming events.

KNOW Steering Committee: Bob Kildea (Convener and Treasurer),
 Harold Beu (Secretary), Dan Smith (Communications),
 at-large members: Raelyn Joyce and Ron Kramer.
