Rachel Corrie

Rachel Corrie (April 10, 1979 – March 16, 2003) was an American member of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) who traveled to the Gaza Strip during the Second Intifada. She was killed by a Caterpillar D9 armoured bulldozer operated by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) during a protest against the destruction of Palestinian homes by the IDF in the Gaza Strip.The details of the events surrounding Corrie's death are disputed; an Israeli military investigation ruled the death was an accident, while the ISM maintains that Corrie was run over deliberately.



On March 14, 2003 in an interview with the Middle East Broadcasting network, she said: "I feel like I'm witnessing the systematic destruction of a people's ability to survive ... Sometimes I sit down to dinner with people and I realize there is a massive military machine surrounding us, trying to kill the people I'm having dinner with."

Dawud Wharnsby dedicated a Nasheed for Rachel for her great inspiration to the world, Specially the Islamic world.

Maybe She's not a Muslim but she knew how to express her feelings toward Palestine People.

“If You Think Your Life Is Hard… Think Again!”

A truly awesome story about a child, named Nick Vujicic born without limbs and how he faced the challenges and obstacles in his life.

Nick is in early twenties now and has completed a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Financial Planning and Accounting. He’s a motivational speaker and travels to many countries sharing his life stories and giving motivational talks to encourage students through topics that challenge today’s teenagers.

I felt so sad the moment I saw his photos when he’s a child. So sorry for him. He’s such a beautiful baby! Somehow, it’s amazing that he’s pulled through the difficulties and hardships in his life! I think his parents has done a great job giving him all the love, strength, encouragement & support.

I couldn’t imagine myself if I’m in his parents’ shoe having the strength, courage & sacrifice accepting and bringing up the baby! I’m really, really, really thankful that I’ve been blessed with a healthy baby without any defects!

Well, I would like to share some videos about him & his life.
