Salahuddin is a local Palestinian volunteer with Project Hope. He teaches computer literacy, but don’t be fooled. He was Palestine’s 2009 Champion in K-1 kickboxing, and teaches Thai boxing for many of our students and volunteers.

This spring, Norwegian volunteer Lykke taught two dance classes for girls aged 7 to 14. Each class consisted of 12 girls and met for two hours twice a week, providing the girls with regular physical activity, as well as a sense of community. “The after school activities for children in Palestine are so limited, especially for girls,” explained Lykke. “It’s a chance for them to be together, to create something together.”

As part of its new two-story Education Center, Project Hope is proud to announce the opening of its new computer facilities. These include a computer lab for blogging and internet literacy classes, as well as a 10-computer net café, open to the Nablus public. Many thanks to the New Zealand Consulate in Turkey and Kirk In Actie in Holland for making these valuable additions possible!
