Schools across Palestine are closed now for winter break but when children go back to school in Masara next week, they will be greeted with the usually delicious, healthy food cooked by a group of dedicated women.
We are excited to announce that another woman will join the team to prepare healthy lunches and snacks for children in the new year! This will give a chance to a younger woman in the village to join the team and be mentored. And it will also mean there is an extra set of hands in case someone is ill or has other obligations.
We will post an update after school starts up to introduce you to the newest member of the Zawahra Women's Society!
We are also excited that after a few years of making payments through another local society, the women in Masara are now ready to manage the project themselves. We will provide help along the way but this will give them the necessary experience for future projects to benefit the women and children in their area.
