Children's Enrichment Project

Since the establishment of the Friends of Jahalin group, our volunteer Haya Tal has been running an enrichment day and activity once a week for the children of Khan al-Ahmar in elementary school. Creative, educational and sports activities.

The project is challenging because there is no designated place where the children from different families can meet and play. The school playground in the area is closed and forbidden to use, and the construction of a makeshift playground that could be used by all the children of the community would be considered illegal construction that would be demolished by the Civil Administration within a few days.

Despite the obstacles, Haya managed to create trust among the community and meet with the children each time with a different host family.

In order for this initiative to expand and provide the enrichment that the children of the community so need, due to the grim reality in which they cannot go out and travel due to the movement restrictions for residents of Area C and they do not have classes or playgrounds, there is a great need for additional Arabic-speaking volunteers and ongoing donations.
