Qira
A meeting at the women's club in Kira
Sally Ann is running a movement class with the women, and she is much loved by them. One could feel their happiness to see her and to do the activity. The group was divided into two, and while some of them did movement activity, we had an activity with the others on colour; basic colours and complementary colours. I brought paints and brushes and paper used with water colours and we saw the influence of one colour on the other as each woman mixed colours as she wished. After 45 minutes the groups changed places. I also brought a picture of a pouffe (cushion seat) decorated with crochet-knitted woollen flowers and some crochet flowers for example, and asked who is interested in this kind of activity. I was happy to see their excitement. They have to bring a crochet needle and wool for the next meeting.
Around 12:30 we returned to Rosh Ha'ayin with Nadim without a hitch

Qira
This village is located in the Salfit district of the northern West Bank, 19 kilometers south-west of Nablus. The village population numbered 1,387 as of 2016. 97.6% of the village lands are categorized as Area B, whereas the 2.3% remaining are in Area C. The Separation Fence erected around the settler-colony city of Ariel separates Qira from its local town Salfit, and necessitates a detour of about 20 kilometers.
In 2010-2015, the women’s center in the village held meetings and workshops shared by the village women and children with members of MachsomWatch.
