By Photojournalist Susan Brannon. Through the use of documentary photography and participating in photography workshops, The Crossing Borders Project encourages citizens to generate their own voice, rather then others doing it for them. Participants capture images to reflect their lives, their interests, and their stories to share across borders.

Sana's 2nd roll-Aida (Adyah) Refugee Camp, Bethlehem
I have not been able to translate the photographs. This will happen tomorrow!
The one with the watch tower, is one of many located in Adyah camp, this tower is across from the UN building and the school. It is also down the street from the community center where we hold our meetings. When the wall was first built, the Israeli soldiers would sit inside and watch, there are also camera's everywhere overlooking the camp. The soldiers used to shoot at the children and anyone else who walked down that street from the tower.
Once the wall was finished, the soldier's left that tower, and then they built another one around the corner...they soldiers remain in the towers.
The scary looking photograph is a painting on the wall inside of the camp. It reflects the fear in the hearts of the Palestinians.
