This project involved the recruitment and training of
cadres of Birzeit, Bethlehem and Al-Quds students who
acted as friends or brothers and sisters to the youth
and helped them through a substitute and creative
package compensate for their losses on the educational
level and through recreational and interactive
techniques to come to peace with themselves, their
surroundings and with the other.
This emergency plan of action did not only benefit
children and pupils, but university students as well.
Acting as friends, tutors and mentors, the students got
the chance to earn some money, even if symbolic, to
assist them in covering their fees and tuition.
The project aims to:
-
Create job opportunities for about 40 students
studying at Birzeit, Behtlehem and Al-Quds
universities especially those who are facing
financial problems and difficulties in covering
their university fees.
-
Offer educational and psychlogical support to many
school pupils especially those who were highly
affected by the deteriorating political situation
and who belong to families with limited income not
allowing them to offer their children alternative
and complimentary methods of education.
-
This project will also set a good atmosphere for
university students to implement and practise what
they have already learned.
-
Create a sort of harmony between the community
service and the Palestinian universities, in other
words, creating a network of cooperation and
interaction between both parties.
-
This project aims to create a cadre of university
students who are capable to offer educational and
psychological support to school students.
This project is considered part of PYALARA’s
strategy which is based on the principle of peer to
peer support.
This project is funded by the Friedrich Naumann
Stiftung (FNS)/German Fund for Palestinian NGOs.
