Abeer's Story
|
Abeer is a girl living in the Old City,
16 years old, full of passion for her life! Am here and am exist and I can do Many things. By all accounts the odds were against Abeer to succeed. She lives in the Old City, in a vulnerable community area, gender based violence can be faced on a daily basis, and she hasn’t had the stability of attending the same club for more than one month. She would rather spend her time outside playing than doing her homework, and she lacked the confidence and structure she needed to succeed. Now with the help of Abna Al Quds afterschool programs this has all changed for Abeer. She has learned to love her school and join different activities in the Club. The afterschool program of Abna Al Quds allowed Abeer to have access to participate in the leadership groups, football and basketball trainings, in addition to be a member in Club Dancing group. "I like afterschool because it is fun and you get opportunity to know the club activates, easily anyone can be a member with no fees charge, I have learn about healthy choices," Abeer said. "I like every day of my life”. |
