In the heart of the old city of Hebron - amid checkpoints,
razor-wire fences, military watchtowers and Israeli soldiers -
al-Ibrahimiya kindergarten, run by
53-year-old Zleikha Muhtaseb, provides a safe haven for Palestinian children.
“I decided to create this space for them just to be kids,
because outside the kindergarten, they are not treated very well,”
Muhtaseb, who grew up in Hebron, told Al Jazeera.
Hebron is the largest city in the occupied West Bank and
is divided into two sectors, H1 and H2, controlled respectively by the
Palestinian Authority and the Israeli military. The kindergarten is
located in H2, an area with a heavy military presence. The private
kindergarten, created and maintained by Muhtaseb in a building adjoining
her home, is supervised by local education officials, and Muhtaseb
ultimately hopes to expand it to serve more Palestinian children.
“When they see the soldiers patrolling the streets, this
affects them … When they see the checkpoints, the fence, everything,
of course this makes them think that we are surrounded from everywhere,”
Muhtaseb said, noting the kindergarten offers the children a safe space
to talk about their frustrations and their experiences with soldiers.
She says her goal is to encourage children to resist the occupation in a
peaceful way.
“My main goal is to use education to change the society,”
she said. “I always believe that education is the main tool to secure
lasting change. If you educate the children and educate the mothers,
then you educate the whole society.”
Your average pineapple, peeled and cut makes about 4.5 cups or 36 ounces of pineapple chunks. Cans of pineapple come in a variety of sizes the most common being 20oz and 46oz. Meaning a single pineapple generally won’t fill up a single can perfectly, wich also means everytime u eat pineapple from a can somewhere someone else has the can that has the rest of that same pineapple. Meaning u can share a single fruit with a stranger from hundreds of miles away and I think that’s beutiful
