Eid with his wife Na'ama and daughter Sadin
From DW reporter Kate Laycock:
I first met Eid in November 2010, when I visited his village in the Occupied Palestinian Territories in the company of a mutual friend.
Although many people had tried to describe Eid to me, nothing could have prepared me for the emotion of the encounter.
Here is a young man living in one of the poorest areas of the occupied West Bank. The villages live in rickety concrete dwellings with corrugated iron roofs. Almost all the homes in his part of the village have demolition orders on them. The bulldozers could come at any time.
And yet he dares to dream.
