Al Aqaba Kindergarten: Haj Sami's Dreams Made Real

Thank you for supporting Al Haq Kindergarten. Because of you, the kindergarten continues to provide quality education to children of Al Aqaba Village and nearby areas.

At the start of the academic year, the kindergarten enrolled 85 children from the villages of Tubas, Tayasir, and Al Aqaba. However, the kindergarten director, Rawhea, expressed concerns about potentially losing many of these students due to the difficult conditions in the West Bank and the war in Gaza. Parents faced challenges paying tuition fees, and the kindergarten struggled to keep its doors open.

Despite these circumstances, the kindergarten did not fail to provide educational and recreational activities to the children.

• The kindergarten offered Math and Arabic lessons.
• Special attention was given to children with learning and pronunciation difficulties. Words were repeated several times to help them pronounce correctly. Some children were referred to speech centers when necessary.
• Children were given numerous opportunities for games and activities, such as drama, music, and songs.
• A breakfast program was introduced that delighted the children and parents alike.
• New school bags were provided to children who did not have proper bags.
• A field trip to a local dairy factory was organized for the children.
• Children visit the Ibn Rushd Library every week to enjoy the storytelling sessions.
• A special session was convened with doctors to address the health and hygiene of children. The doctors examined the children and provided appropriate footwear to those with flatfoot.
• Children learned about traffic rules with the assistance of the local police. This initiative helped alleviate children's fear of the police while educating them about rules.

With your support, we were able to provide financial assistance to the kindergarten to help cover the salaries of teachers and the bus driver. The kindergarten also requires stationery and a new printer. Rawheh mentioned relying on the school next door for printing services. "Despite the economic and security challenges the kindergarten faced this year, we managed to deliver outstanding educational and recreational services to the children, all thanks to your support."

Thank you for making this possible.
