JERUSALEM - As a boy growing up in Palestinian refugee camps, Ramzi Aburedwan was immortalized in a well-known photo, holding stones to throw at Israeli soldiers.

He has since become a respected musician and composer, and today he provides musical training to around 2,000 young refugees through a project called Al-Kamandjati (The Violinist).

Aburedwan, 38, who grew up in the Al-Amari camp in the occupied West Bank's Ramallah area, said he hopes to create a "strong future generation capable of expressing itself" through such projects.
