Huda preschool, Hashem-al-Daraj
9:30 a.m. – 13:00 p.m.
Subject: Consultation and supervision for the teachers at Huda preschool, Hashem-al-Daraj
Road 317: All entrances to the small villages are newly blocked. The military bulldozer worked hardly over here.
We visited the kindergarten as supervisors: Fatima is the Principal of the Zanuta school, and Yasmin is a kindergarten teacher from Yata. We aim at providing:
* Practices and lessons in teaching children.
* Advice in managing the kindergarten.
In this visit, we concentrated on the usage of songs and movement:
* Usage of music and songs in children instruction.
* How to use body language and miming in teaching kids
* How to use colorful posters in the leaning process..
It seems that the number of kids in the kindergarten activities is growing – probably a good sign. Huda asked for additional books for them.

South Hebron Hills
South Hebron Hills is a large area in the West Bank's southern part.
Yatta is a major city in this area: right in the border zone between the fertile region of Hebron and its surroundings and the desert of the Hebron Hills. Yatta has about 64,000 inhabitants.
The surrounding villages are called Masafer Yatta (Yatta's daughter villages). Their inhabitants subsist on livestock and agriculture. Agriculture is possible only in small plots, especially near streams. Most of the area consists of rocky terraces.Since the beginning of the 1980s, many settlements have been established on the agricultural land cultivated by the Palestinians in the South Hebron Hills region: Carmel, Maon, Susia, Masadot Yehuda, Othniel, and more. Since the settlements were established and Palestinians cultivation areas have been reduced; the residents of the South Hebron Hills have been suffering from harassment by the settlers. Attempts to evict and demolish houses have continued, along with withholding water and electricity. The military and police usually refrain from intervening in violent incidents between settlers and Palestinians do not enforce the law when it comes to the investigation of extensive violent Jewish settlers. The harassment in the South Hebron Hills includes attacking and attempting to burn residential tents, harassing dogs, harming herds, and preventing access to pastures.
There are several checkpoints in the South Hebron Hills, on Routes 317 and 60. In most of them, no military presence is apparent, but rather an array of pillboxes monitor the villages. Roadblocks are frequently set up according to the settlers and the army's needs. These are located at the Zif Junction, the Dura-al Fawwar crossing, and the Sheep Junction at the southern entrance to Hebron.
