Abed, a 14 year-old circus student from Balata refugee camp participated in a gymnastics competition through his school and won the regionals to go on to win first place at nationals. He competed against other students from around Palestine. His routine mixed gymnastics with acrobatics and contortion. Although new to the circus, Abed has shown enthusiasm and a strong will to learn both acrobatics and other circus skills such as unicycle and juggling.
On behalf of the Assirk Assaghir team, we say "Congratulations!"
