 Al Rowwad Children's Theater is a nonprofit, independent cultural center in
 Aida Refugee Camp in Bethlehem, Palestine, a six-acre area where 4,500
 people live. The children of Al Rowwad were born under military occupation
 and have lived their entire lives under military occupation.  We Are the
 Children of the Camp is a powerful reflection through drama, dance and 
music
 of the violent reality of their lives and of their irrepressible and joyful
 hope for the future.
