Bio

Dareen grew up in Jerusalem and was a junior in high school while she worked with The Tiziano Project. She joined to explore her interests in art and creativity. She wants to share stories of life in Jerusalem and Palestine to educate people abroad. “I once traveled out of the country but when they asked me where I was from, I said Palestine. They thought it was Pakistan. I really got mad that they didn't know where I was from,” Dareen says. “The media gives a false picture that we are bad people. “I would like to give the real picture of Palestine and living here.”
