LIFE DURING PEACE TIME
Sharif Abdunnur lives in Beirut, Lebanon. This summer's bombing forced him, like many people, to evacuate his home. Amidst the bombs, Sharif decided that the best thing to do was put on a play.
"I was about two blocks away, was on my circus stilts playing with the kids, when we saw the planes fly over and I heard the booming noises, and I kind of knew that it was either my house, or someone near my house that got blown up."
Sharif made his way through the danger to southern Lebanon. He is still working with children. As Lebanon begins its recovery and reconstruction, Dick talks with Sharif about how children deal with crises and what motivates him to help them.
