Workshops for Bedouin children

NCF helped organize workshops for Bedoun children throughout the Negev this month. In Umm Mitnan village, two clowns – Carmen and Lorena – from the Spanish organization “Bailando Esperanza” put on a show for the children and taught them fun, clowning techniques.

Israeli volunteers also led a drumming workshop for children from the village of Al Arakib. Al Arakib children are now regularly using drums during the weekly protest against the demolition of their village.
