Today I walked into Nabil Badran Centre to find the Self Help Group (SHG) already working without me. Why? Because we have a deadline to finish the teaching materials before entering the UNRWA schools and also because . . . . . they can. In the short space of a few months, the SHG have become much more self-assured and confident computer users which has resulted in the ability to work alone and take steps without the need for feedback or reassurance after each step. I am making myself redundant! Which can only be a good thing.
Leaving the capable group to themselves, my partner coordinator and I went to visit the UNRWA schools to introduce ourselves and arrange to meet a specific class each week. We have chosen three schools in three camps in the south, and from the 22nd of April, when they have finished exams, we will start teaching sign language to three classes every Wednesday, to children in grade 4 and 5, all in all reaching about 120 children. We hope to include these children in future activities that the centre holds, thus giving the children a chance to practice what they are learning and to facilitate truly inclusive activities in Sur.
