Al Quds Open University teaches throughout Palestine and generates essential costs by charging students. To keep costs low the teaching is minimised. They need a new building so that students with disabilities can attend classes.
At Askar refugee camp we saw how their Rehabilitation Centre is helping children with various difficulties. Their programme for children with Cerebral Palsy covers the whole of Nablus.
Invited to the house of a local family for lunch we ate generously from the amazing range of meat, vegetable, salad, soup and bread.
The Arab Right Supporters children's group demonstrated dabke and explained how their various projects were giving the children of Nablus a voice which they hoped to be heard all over the world through a non-violent approach.
Much to say, but have to rush off to an evening meal with Ala'a and family. Wowee!
