Growing up in a refugee camp in Palestine, Hammam experienced the hardship of living under occupation first hand and his childhood was filled with images of soldiers clashing with protestors and breaking into houses. Now a student in the US, his heart is always directed towards a peaceful future for Palestinians. He is an active member of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) working to raise public awareness of The Occupation in Palestine and spread Palestinian culture.
