Kids Playing soccer in a graveyard!

-

This is a photo of children who have no place to play football so... they play football in a graveyard in Amman... Near Middle East Circle... They are taking a brake in the shade to continue in a few minutes...


The kids are very kind and well behaved, they pointed out the municipality office for me and when I didn't know they insisted on coming with me to show me the way and they insisted on racing back to the graveyard on foot... Talk about energy and helping strangers...


Great kids but I guess they are left with no decent football field to play... I'm not saying this so the municipality would go and chase them off to the streets, better play football than spend time on the streets and become a future thug...


Creative and sad...

These are the pictures that tell the story of tearing apart a landmark in this country's heritage. If you want to torture a man who has great passion for the history of Amman, all you have to do is take him to stroll down Jabal Amman and walk around the School that was built in 1947, the "Islamic Scientific College" It's wall once stood tall all around the buildings that constituted the architectural stamp of a different era. Jordan is still young, a country that is less than a hundred years, so when you talk about buildings that are 60 Years old. The first international football field , is no longer there, instead you will find the new buildings in this picture. Some of the most influential people in this country studied behind those thick walls. Including King Hussein, Ministers, Princes, Politicians, Opposition figures and many more. The school's management seems to have a different architectural opinion!! So they started renovating, demolishing, removing struc...

Can't stop thinking about your Grave...

Every apartment that is for sale, every brother I see with another, every gym, every cigarette, every cup of coffee, every PC game... I cannot forget... Every book I see...I see your face... At every car that looks like yours... I almost crumble into tears... Every time I get sick, reminds me of all the long nights you spent with me in a cold distant hospital, every time I get sick I remember how you sacrificed "kids play...
