Onwards we go.

The next step of the internship is now in progress. Aside from what Sarah has talked about regarding the research, we will be organizing different events in the PCS center in Ramallah. We are almost ready for the research part of interviewing mothers of patients with cleft. The research will be held in Ramallah, Nablus, Jenin and Hebron. This is very exciting because aside from interviewing and conducting research, visiting home cities and getting to see more of this beautiful country is very thrilling.

I am looking forward to organizing and holding events which I am currently planning. I am focusing on holding workshops for the mothers to learn about different ways of reaching out and using the available resources they have but might not be aware of.  I also hope to be able to have events for the children to come in and have a few activities. Face paint, prizes, games and playing with each other would be what an event would look like.

I aim to provide a support network for the mothers through the workshops, enabling them to express themselves and reach out for recourses. As for the kids, we aim to provide them with a space where they meet other kids their age with similar experience, allowing a support network to be built.
