The Spring class session at Tomorrow's Youth Organization just kicked-off earlier this week and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome dozens of new and smiling faces to our community center in Nablus, Palestine. The beginning of classes is always an exciting time at TYO as it’s the culmination of weeks of preparation- lesson plan refinement, classroom decoration, and community outreach. This session children have much to look forward to- we’ve enhanced our programming, adding a literacy-building Arabic class for our youngest beneficiaries, expanded our English-language learning program to include our middle school-aged beneficiaries, and hired an additional Core Child teacher, which has enabled us to bring in even more students to the center! Beyond these exciting changes to our programming, we’ve been fortunate to watch over the last few months as our outdoor play area has been transformed into beautiful new park for the community, thanks to a generous donation from Playgrounds for Palestine.
The new Spring session also heralds the arrival four new interns from the US, UK, and New Zealand who will be spending the next three months teaching a range of classes- everything from children’s English classes at TYO to professional competency classes at An Najah University. TYO’s International Intern Program offers a unique opportunity for Nabulsi children to interact with native English speakers, which not only helps them build language skills, but also exposes them to different cultures, helping to open their young and impressionable minds.
