Binational School for Jewish and Palestinian kids

Students at the Primary School are encouraged to use their voices in unity. Last spring, the students did just that when they wanted new computers. Inspired by a lesson in democracy, the students petitioned, organized and protested for a systems upgrade. Now, a year later, with the generous support of donors, the Primary School is celebrating the opening of the new library and computer lab!

The success of their endeavor and the generosity of key donors was recognized at an assembly of the students and teachers of the Primary School in the courtyard outside of the school buildings. The principal and teachers said some words of welcome, and the school musicians and choir played and sang songs to greet the visitors who contributed to the project.

The spirit of activism is alive in the students. With their new petition to expand the school to include middle school and high school, the steaks are much higher. They might have to wait more than a year to see results. This time they have enlisted friends and family to add their names to the petition. With over 400 signatures already, the petition has been submitted to the Ministry of Education and to the Municipal council.

You can support our students and give other children the opportunity to experience the inclusive, bicultural education that the Primary School offers by making a donation to AFNSWAS today. Over the past two years, our school enrollment is up 46%! It is due to the continued support of our donors that NSWAS’ message of peace continues to spread far and wide. Your gift is so important to the students of the Primary School. Thank you for your continued support. Together, we can make peace a reality.
