To all friends of Jeel al Amal
It is the day to go out and enjoy the nature for the children of Jeel Al Amal. Going to a natural habitat in “Ramat Gan“ where they got to see the animals roaming around freely brought so much joy to their little hearts.
By bus
The children could not sleep out of excitement and were all ready to jump into the buses which stood at the main entrance at six o’clock in the morning. With smiling faces and much enthusiasm they grabbed their lunch boxes and hurriedly got in. Five volunteers from the Palestinian Theatre (Hakawati ) in addition to the school supervisors accompanied the children.
Walk through the Zoo
The Zoo supervisor showed the boys around during their walk through the various sections of the Zoo and explained extensively about each and every animal they saw – where its country of origin is and physical information about it and the kind of food it eats. This is very important as many of the children had only seen the animals in pictures in school or in library books. After that the boys had their midday meal and enjoyed some ice-cream as desert. - TOP PAGE -
To where the lions live freely
Later the children were ready for an entertaining trip around the Zoo and drove further in the buses to where the lions live freely. The faces of the children lit up with joy seeing the little cubs playing freely around. Some literally held their breaths. - TOP PAGE -
Indelibly printed in their minds
They came back very happy and refreshed and were chattering amazedly about the animals they had seen and learned about. That night they crawled into their beds and slept like they have never done before. The trip to the Zoo however, will remain printed indelibly in the children’s minds as they had so much fun and learned a great deal at the same time. - TOP PAGE -
