Send an message to the wall of shame

The messages are written in all languages of the world and come from hundreds of different countries. These are the messages that the activists of ' Send a message ' (http://www.sendamessage.nl/), a non-gov organization, have faithfully reproduced on concrete slabs of the wall that divides Israel from the West Bank.

With just 30 euros and an e-mail to write phrases of love fragments of songs on one of the last walls "of shame", after the one of Berlin, still remained standing. The idea is to turn the barrier into a 'canvas' on which to write messages and graffiti "as long as the contents are not offensive to anyone" of the organizers state, was born from an idea of a Dutch advertising and Palestinians, and is a way to transform a wall, symbol of division and hatred, into a symbol of hope for one of the most haunt place of the planet.
The money is used to finance education projects and education for Palestinian children. To write your own message just send an email to the email address of 'Send a message' and type the text; Palestinian activists are committed to faithfully bring it back on the wall and return, once completed, three photographs of the 'wall' .
