The long-awaited finale of the university graphic novel is here and I have to say, its too soon. The students have worked day and night to finish their images. After contacting the local printing house, Hujawi Printers to scan the images and begin the process of digital editing to construct a compiled novel, the students eagerly got together to plan the exhibition at the university. With minimal materials to work with, we chose large, movable posting boards and black backdrops for each of the five-page stories. 
With the help of Project Hope's directors Jeremy Wildeman (Canada) and Abdul-Hakim (Palestine), we sent out a massive press release to all major media in the region. I am pleased to say that not only did local media show up to report on the event but major Canadian media station, the CBC also came equipt with cameras and reporters.
