RDP Monday: Grain | Chronicles of an Anglo Swiss

Our little village is in the middle of farming land. The grain grows on the fields. it grows and ripens and eventually some time in Autumn it is harvested. Growing up in London, this was certainly something completely different for me, but I just love it. The smells of agriculture, the noise and everything to do with it.

When Dr Ahlia Kattan and her husband Dr Sameer Khan decided to join the mission, their parents offered to babysit. After months of seeing horrific videos of injured and dead Palestinian children on their social media feeds, the couple from California were left wondering, what if these children had been their own…
