By the time Abdullah arrived home to eat, the family had already heard about the team of teenage rebuilders. They had also heard that it was Abdullah's idea to start it. Haleema approached him as he stood in the doorway. She embraced him and then stepped back to admire how much he had grown. "Abdullah, my son, my wild one," Haleema put her hands on his tall shoulders. "I've worried and prayed so much about you. Now I know Allah is answering my prayers. I'm so proud of what you're doing." Ahmed looked up from his meal and stared up at the immensity of his brother. "I think he really is the magic giant," he said, and the others laughed. Kaka Ghullam said, "The shura is organizing the reconstruction. They'll tell you which places need help the most. Maybe they can get the word out to form more teams." “I’m glad you are my brother,” Jameela called. “I am, too,” Abdullah responded. “I look forward to the day when I can go back to teaching you.” Jameela smiled at the thought of doing more reading and writing again. The next day, the boys worked hard. At lunchtime, Jameela and Ahmed helped Aisha and Fatima bring them all food and drink. The boys began singing together again. They changed the words of one of their school songs. "War is fire burning all in its path. We are burned but our limbs are healing. Now we must rebuild our homes, Now is the time to reconcile with our brothers and sisters, 142
Now we shall untie the knots And sing and dance with each other, free of hatred." Jameela, Ahmed, Fatima and Aisha quickly learned the new words and raised their voices with the others. There were only eleven young people but it was amazing how far their voices could be heard. 143
