I was a Primary School teacher for twenty years and now work in Education Welfare. As a teenager I spent time in Palestine which left a deep and lasting effect on me. The ability to make a small difference to the lives of Palestinian children attracted me to the work of Playgrounds for Palestine.
At both the Phoenix School and the Modern Childhood School, our students participated in craft workshops to create Ramadan decorations
Play, while it cannot change the external realities of children’s lives, can be a vehicle for children to explore and enjoy their differences and similarities and to create, even for a brief time, a more just world where everyone is an equal and valued participant.
