So we went into the last phase with our women group. Windows had asked us to make a manual that could guide them in any project that they want to undertake. Our idea was to make worksheets that help think of preparation, network and money.
After introducing the first sheet we soon found out that the women wanted to work on individual projects. A little anxious as to how that would contribute to 'community building' we introduced more personal sheets and worked on them in small groups. One for chicken, one for a greenhouse and one for goats.
The last session we looked back at the whole month and did a tip top on our way of working from which we got only compliments. Nobody here would ever be critical in your face.
On the side we have been developing a recipe book for Palestinian food. Many women have written their recipes down for us and we were invited for lunch so that we could take pictures of lovely grape leave wraps with chicken.
We will be back in June for a follow up. For now am half satisfied with our work. Still a long way to go to be an effective 'community builder'.
