Here was are in Jordan working on a number of projects. This month, we would like to share with you some musical projects we are undertaking in the region of Marka in Amman. Marka has long been “home” to many refugees and was originally one of six “emergency” camps erected in 1968 to shelter 15,000 Palestinian refugees. According to recent counts, it is the residence of 44,879 UNRWA registered refugees and over 17,500 displaced persons.
We are working at the moment in a small school for predominantly Iraqi refugee children. These pictures show a typical music session where we work on basic skills of co-ordination, listening and performing. We have donated many instruments and taken videos of the children singing which we will share with you soon. You can see the children enjoying a simple action song in arabic designed to facilitate movement and participation.
