I dance with a group of people my age, mainly Israeli folk dances.

I go to a youth movement called "Noar Oved Velomed" (the working and learning youth)

I hope this camp will be interesting. I believe it is possible to live together with different people from different places for 10 days. I am an open minded person and I think I will enjoy the activities and discussions.

5. Dorel Shababo
Hello, My name is Dorel Shababo but I prefer the name Dori.

I'm 15 years old, from Qiriat haim, which is a city close to Haifa.

I really love animals, so I have two dogs. I also love to sing and write poetry and I hope that I will be a writer or a singer in the future.

I think that the sentence that is right for me is "Music=Life" because all my life I am interested in music. Music inspires me and I just can't imagine myself living without music.

I want to go to the "4peace" camp because I'm really interested to meet new people from different countries. I think that it's really great that we have an opportunity to fly abroad and to discuss important issues such as environment and conflicts between people and countries.

I think that I can add a new point of view about the subjects and generally, I can add a great spirit to the camp.
