"My personal dream was to be a businesswoman, and I worked so hard for it.  Then in one sudden moment I found myself here,  in an UNRWA shelter,  not knowing if I’m going to live another day or not."   Joanna (14) is an UNRWA Student Parliamentarian from the Jabalia Prep C Girls School.  She was displaced four times during the war in Gaza, moving from Jabalia to Sheikh Radwan to Nuseirat, finally settling in the UNRWA Khan Younis Training Centre.
