"We are happy we came here, full of joy, full of life," said 11-year-old Marwan Mohammad. "We hope that we can be free and can enjoy the same freedom these kites enjoy in the air. All we are looking for is to grow up like normal children."

Hi Linda,
I enjoy kite flying, and have made my own in the past. I was excited to see the photos of Gaza's children flying home made colorful kites...but if they alos make Guiness records? WOW!
Nothing, not even bombs and missiles, can permanently take away a child's imagination and need/right to play and have fun.
