Every semester is different, but the phone number and the e-mail stay the same. I am in Amnesty International meetings every Tuesday from 1:00-2:00. We work for human rights around the world.

Poems~~:

A fragment on love by Jelladin Rumi—

Don’t ask what love can make or do! Look at the colors of the world.

The River water moving in all rivers at once. The truth that lives in Sham’s face.

( Shams was his best friend; Rumi knows the power of friendship.)
