Jehad Alaa AlGhandour is an exchange student in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. His home country is Palestine where he was born in the city of Gaza 15 years ago. Jehad came to The United States through a full scholarship called “KL-YES” (Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and study); part of his scholarship focuses on experiencing cultures and most importantly sharing what life is like (the good and the bad) in Gaza Strip for a teenager. Jehad is an amazingly articulate and mature teen who is eager to address our MEPN audience.
