The Better Together Drama Club in Jabalia, Gaza

 

Despite the dire conditions in Gaza right now, Hanaa Mansour has managed to set up and run the ‘Better together club’; an English drama club for children which meets every few days in Jabalia refugee camp in the north of Gaza. We’re all immensely proud of this and of you Hanaa! We’ll do everything we can to support you with this.

It usually takes place every two days. Here are some images and videos of their session today in which the children played the ‘two truths and a lie’ game and created some still images.
