In February 2007 girls’ primary school in Deheishe camp, due to Karama’s initiative, opened 6 new classrooms for its pupils. By that time over 200 girls of classes 1-4 were attending school as a second shift. Beginning their lessons in the afternoon, due to the lack of appropriate facilities, was harming not only their studying abilities, but also possibilities of organizing their leisure time after school. The two-shift schedule was established about 5 years ago. Even though the United Nations allowed using additional rooms for running the classes, the school was not able to fulfill imposed conditions itself, without any financial help from the outside. Thus the scarce space was not the most significant problem, which the school faced. The most important was to convert the available activity rooms into regular classrooms by local authorities themselves. Karama, with incalculable help of Mr Kaled Abu Ajamieh…, who exposed the problem as prior to our donator, Taney Parish cinter (Ireland), within a few weeks managed the conversion. It included not only renovating the place, but also designing and building new type of desks, which is expected to be used for many years. New classrooms were provided with basic facilities, necessary for daily work of the teachers. Karama improved studying conditions for the children in Deheishe, and gave employment opportunity to the locals as well, by engaging Palestinian carpenters to our project. We are happy that results of our initiative embraced such a large number of persons, what made outcome of our work broader than we expected
