We are not going to remember 2014 for the military operation that ravaged Gaza, for the civil war in Syria, or the rise of radicalism in Iraq. We are going to remember it for the thousands of initiatives that honor life, resilience, and humanity above all. BarakaBits has selected 10 happy photos that redefined 2014. Because happiness, too, can be a form of resistance.

1) The little girl from Gaza who rescued her books among the rubble.
