Anna Lekas Miller Hi COMET-ME,

I just read on your fanpage about your logo competition. I'm a graphic designer and activist who has in the past worked on design projects for Adalah NY, NYU's Students for Justice in Palestine, and Interfaith Peace Builders. I would love more information if this is still going on!

Noam Dotan The sun shines to night in a cave in Beer al Eid
About ten years ago the families of Beer Al Eid were deported from their land between Lucifer and Mitzpe Yair. After long round in Israeli court, the families are allowed to come back to their home. The army and the settlers are still making their life very hard by preven...ting them from using the only road to there homes. Ezra Nawii supports them now daily. With his help we managed to arrange for installation of a solar system in one cave and to provide some light to their hard day life. following is picture of Ezra with one of the people who moved back to their homes

Comet-ME Our good friend (and board member) Dan Rabinowitz wrote a piece on us on his new and excellent blog "Homo Combustans". I would highly recomend his blog for anyone interested in environmental issues.

Comet-ME We were just informed that we did not make it to the three top finalists. Comet wishes to congratulate the winners and thank all who voted for us. Thanks a lot. We are now hard at work in preparation for the next installations so although sad for not having won we are very optimistic about Comet's future.

If you have a copy of this documentary, can you upload it to youtube? Only if you're allowed. I'm writing a report about your work for my class and I couldn't watch the docu yesterday because I don't get BBC on cable. Thank you and more power to you.
