Happy Birthday Kareem – we love you!
We would like to note that Kareem’s birthday is coming up VERY soon – the 17th of June – and we would like to make this day be as special as possible for him.
Even if most letters and packages won’t be able to be sent by the 17th at this point, later is better than never!
The Free Kareem Coalition compiled a list of things that we think might be very useful for Kareem:
1. Clothes (between medium and large – Kareem is around 5’6 or 5’7 tall.)
2. Writing materials
3. Books (be careful with your selection, and remember that prison guards will see it before Kareem does. Therefore it\’s very important to select something that will not trouble him.)
4. Food / sweets
5. Blanket
6. Postcards and birthday cards
7. Letters!
8. Anything reasonable of your personal choice, but always keep in mind that his safety comes first, thus as we noted before, be extra careful with your selection.Please send any of the above to the address posted here:
http://www.freekareem.org/2007/06/05/updating-kareems-prison-address/We stress the importance of supportive letters and birthday cards to keep him in high spirits and to let him know that the world protests the unjust human rights violation which left him behind bars. Don’t forget this brave young man on the day he especially needs to be remembered!
For comments or questions, please don’t hesitate to e-mail us at either: editor@freekareem.org or director@freekareem.org

Like The Secret
“YOU HAVE TO take risks, he said. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.
Every day, God gives us the sun – and also one moment in which we have the ability to change everything that makes us unhappy. Every day, we try to pretend that we haven’t perceived that moment, that it doesn’t exist – that today is the same as yesterday and will be the same as tomorrow. But if people really pay attention to their everyday lives, they will discover that magic moment. It may arrive in the instant when we are doing something mundane, like putting our front-door key in the lock; it may lie hidden in the quiet that follows the lunch hour or in the thousand and one things that seem the same to us. But that moment exists – a moment when all the power of the stars becomes part of us and enables us to perform miracles.Joy is sometimes a blessing, but it is often a conquest. Our magic moment helps us to change and sends us off in search of our dreams. Yes, we are going to suffer, we will have difficult times, and we will experience many disappointments – but all of this is transitory; it leaves no permanent mark. And one day we will look back with pride and faith at the journey we have taken.
Pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks. Perhaps this person will never e disappointed or disillusioned; perhaps she won’t suffer the way people do when they have a dream to follow. But when that person looks back – and at some point everyone looks back – she will hear her heart saying, “What have you done with the miracles that God planted in your days? What have you done with the talents God bestowed upon you? You buried yourself in a cave because you were fearful of losing those talents. So this is your heritage: the certainty that you wasted your life.”
Pitiful are the people who must realize this. Because when they are finally able to believe in miracles, their life’s magic moments will have already passed them by.”
