Photo taken on November 8, shows Tala Nasser Ramadan. Tala Nasser Ramadan is an 11 years old Palestine girl who lives in Daheisheh refugee camp in the West Bank city of Bethlehem. She is a sixth grade student at the school that built by United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) for Palestinian Refugees at the entrance of Daheisheh refugee camp. As the third child of her family, she has to help her mother take care of her younger sisters and brothers and her mother has to work to raise the five kids. After over 50 years, the population of Daheisheh refugee camp reached 13,000 from 4,500 in 1953 when the nearly two square kilometers Daheisheh refugee camp was founded. Tala Nasser Ramadan and her sisters and brothers are the fourth generation in the camp. To Palestines, the key of their old houses symbolizes the wish of returning home. Now the key has been passed to the hands of Tala Nasser Ramadan. As most Palestines, Tala Nasser Ramadan has never seen the sea and has no idea of what a train looks like, because the walls and check points built by Israel limited the areas of their lives. Tala Nasser Ramadan's dream is to become a TV host, because she is curious about the colorful world in the little box. To Tala Nasser Ramadan's mother, giving her kids a better life is her only hope now. [Xinhua]
