Summer Camps
During the summer months when Palestinian children are out of school for three months,since 2004 Humans without borders has been organizing a summer camp for the children of the Jahalin Bedouin in the village of Anata, East Jerualem. Children ranging from the age of 3 to 14 spend a week of song, dance, games, and a clay workshop. The climax of the camp was the outing to the Funland water park in Ramallah, where the mothers enjoyed themselves as well. In 2007, 85 children attended the camp.
This year we hopes to have camps in other villages reaching more and more disenfranchised children. The cost of the camps appears so minimal but without help it feels astronomical. The summer camps are staffed by young and enthusiastic Israeli volunteers.
