My first ever demonstration! :D


Yeah, believe it or not, I, Hala Gaafar went on a demonstration. Moreover, I'd organized it! :D
It was just three people: Me, Lina Yousif and Hadeel Ibrahim. I think I was in my fifth grade or something.We'd decided to run a demonstration against the pollution of the environment, although SQU was really the last place you'd expect to see littered.So we went. Carrying a sign that said something like "النظافة من الايمان" or something, and shouting enthusiastically: "النظافـــة من الايمــان، و القذارة من الشيطان، لا تدخّنوا، Don't smoke"
It's hilarious, now that I think about it XD we'd marched through three streets, seven, nine and ten, getting mocked gleefully by Amani, Israa and Lina's sister Amal - and afterwards we headed towards the staff club and the local shop. Of course we made sure to set a good example by cleaning the area about the (already clean) place, and as we marched back towards our own street, tried (and failed) to make sure a discarded, still full bag of crisps was not entirely wasted.
We stood for a few more minutes, me still yelling out and waving our single sign standing on a railing until I was tired. And that was that. We simply departed, went home for a good night's sleep and woke up, and completely forgot about it.
Those were the good times! ^_^
