Dear Stefan,

I’m fine and doing well, working sometimes and I teach some foreigners Arabic and taking care of my family, and the life here is almost the same. Everyone says hi and we miss you too and hopefully you can visit us again, but not now coz the situation in Lebanon is not good and things are getting worst specially after publishing these photos about our prophet and I’m very sad coz it's not fair what they did.

Sorry to tell this, so you asked me about the life in the camp, nothing has changed, things are getting worst, the men aren't working since Hariri assassination, and all the youth they want to leave, and now the political situation is not good at all for us, and we don’t know what is going to happen. We aren't happy at all. There is no work because of the general situation in Lebanon, and they hate us more than before and sorry to tell you, there is nothing good in this country.

Now please say hi to your family and give them hugs and kisses from me, and I hope to hear from you all the time and I wish you all the best that you deserve and I promise to keep in touch, if you need anything just let me know, you are welcome any time.

Your friend,

Kholoud
