manuela kelly calzini, a Hands Up volunteer and friend, recently contacted Antonietta D'Introno, the editor of Peperoncino Rosso magazine, to introduce the Hands Up Project. In a serendipitous twist, a teacher from Antonietta's hometown assigned her students to write about current events.

Among them, 16-year-old Sara Yamoul crafted a poignant rap poem about the war. Her powerful poem was published in Peperoncino Rosso, spreading her message of peace to a wider audience.
