Posted 8 years 9 months ago

In the summer of 2011 Bahaa spent time in Washington DC. He was one of 10 young people chosen each year as part of a New Story Leadership programme. Founded by Paul Costello an Australian educationalist, the purpose is to find future Palestinian and Israeli leaders and offer them a transformative and challenging experience in Washington DC so that when they return home they are more committed and prepared than ever to shape a better future. Bahaa was allocated to spend time with Donald Payne a Democrat and the first New Jersey African American to be elected to the US Congress in 1988.
