Bassam Mohammad Othman, is a 34 years old Palestinian farmer, with 7 family members, who own land in Majdal Bani Fadil village. According to Bassam, Land is very important to each Palestinian as it represents their connection to their cultural heritage, history, and identity. Planting the trees in the land is a central part of the identity and existence of Palestinians, and its protection and preservation is crucial for their well-being and future. Bassam received 75 olive trees from the Olive Tree Campaign to help him stay on his land and keep hope alive.
