==============
Ghassan Kanafani was the famous writer of such short stories as Men In The Sun, a haunting tale about Palestinian refugees being smuggled in empty water tankers into Kuwait, in the unbearable heat. It's a very moving story and you can almost feel and see what it happening as you read it.
He spent time as a teacher in Kuwait which is where he wrote many of his stories. He was killed when his car exploded in 1972, his young niece Lamise was killed too. His widow, Anni Kanafani, who runs the GKCF will be at the charity event tomorrow...
If you want to help children in need, make your way there sometime in the day..

Hi N, did you end up going? I watched part of the documentary that was playing in the background...very touching.
Some nice stuff..bought some books and greeting cards (the sale from those goes straight to the cause) the other folks selling things paid a rental fee that goes to the cause but none of the profit does..of course if they get to sell they will rent again for the next cause...so not too bad.
