Eid Al Adha and Scary Stories

Today in our Saturday Program, Salsalbeel wrote about her Eid Al Adha holiday.

 

“The first day was very nice, my sister came to us with her kids, Anosa, Awad, and Omar. I watched my tv series, Jhansi Ki Rani (Queen of Jhansi – Bollywood). We were in the home, but it was a nice day.

The second day we went to the children’s museum in Al Hussein Garden. We played a lot of games in the childrens’ museum. My sister went out with her friend. She ate shwarma and drank juice and nescafe with her friend. We were very tired. My mum bought for us seven up, sweets, and chocolates. After we ate, we slept. We woke up at seven o’clock because the series is at seven o’clock. After we finished, we watched the news. After that we watched the series, Pavitra Rechta, and we slept. ”

 

Then, to practice our creative writing skills, our group wrote scary stories. Salsalbeel claimed she had no imagination.. but came up with a pretty good story herself:

 

“The girl looked behind her and saw a tall, dark shadow, and saw behind her a big monster that wanted to eat her. She was very scared. She ran away and he caught her.

He put her in a small prison without winds and without doors. It was with snakes and mouses and a scarab. It was an old castle, with 40 bedrooms and 60 windows and 40 doors. The bedrooms were very big and there was sand in the bedrooms. It was dark with snakes. There were just the servants and the monster. He was a bad monster with big eyes and long hair and a big mouth with a strong teeth, with a big hand, and big body.

She saw this strong thing. He can come to her from the wall ad he couldn’t eat. She ran away fro the castel after she killed him and hi the wall very hard and came back to her home. And she forgot this incident.”

 

More stories to come! 🙂

Rap and Graffiti

In the past weeks, a new teacher has joined us: Khalid.

Khalid is a university student with a unique talent… He is a rapper and a graffiti artist. Khalid came to the Association and shared his passion with the students. For many students, it was the first time they heard of these new arts, and for all it was the first time they learned the skills behind it.

Khalid taught students how to write rap and shared his songs with them.

He gave words to students to perform – and they loved trying to rap just like him.

Khalid also showed them how to do graffiti — and while doing so, he made a sign for the Association. (“Palestine”)

The older students learned about graffiti and even got to try it out for themselves!

Of course, Khalid also performed his own rap for the students.

He gave all the students a chance to perform something as well. Many students recited poems or sang songs — the littlest one of us all, Ban, was the first to contribute a song she memorized!

All in all, it was an amazing program that introduced our students to new types of art, encouraged them to be creative, and gave them a voice.
