Human Rights Theatre Project
During October HSA concluded the activities for the
participants of the HRTP by implementing 4 theater performances in Salfeet,
Asseera Al-Qebleyyah, Askar Refugee Camp, and Balata Refugee Camp. The shows
targeted a total number of 300 attendees between the ages of 9 and 16 years.
Each of the shows included performances of the plays that the participants
wrote as well as other different activities such as poetry reading by a 5-year
old girl, who is a beneficiary from another HSA project, Dabkeh performance by
HSA Dabkeh band in cooperation with the local Dabkeh bands from the areas we
visited, in addition to other entertaining activities. All the shows were
concluded by a demonstration which was organized by HRTP participants who had
prepared signs showing the 7 Human Rights focused upon during the project and
were accompanied by poetry reading of Mahmoud Darwish’s famous poem “We have
on this earth what makes life worth living”.
Artistic Workshops in Partnership with “Young Artists
Forum (YAF)”
During October, the implementation of the Artistic workshops
started. The participants have already finished two workshops that were held by
Dr. Mohammad Saleh Khalil. The goal of these workshops is to enhance the
capacities of the participants and encourage them to develop their artistic
skills through receiving a professional painting training. The project is set
to be concluded by organizing an exhibition that shows the work of the
participants upon the ending of their training in February 2013.
English Course for HSA’s Football Team
HSA implemented an English course dedicated to the team
members and was given by an international volunteer of the association. The
course emphasized on basics of the language and conversational skills. In
addition, the team members continue their regular training schedule in
preparation for competitions against other local and national teams
Entertaining Day for the Children at the Kindergarten
of the Evangelical Church
HSA’s staff and volunteers organized and implemented an
entertaining day for the children at the church. The day included various group
activities and games that enabled all the participating children to participate
in the event. Also, the children enjoyed having their faces painted by our
volunteers, and some refreshments were distributed in the end.
HSA is also hosting international volunteers and interns,
who participate in our activities and help organize
them, in addition to interns
from the university who specialize in psychology and social studies.
