On Occasion of Ant-Corruption Day

 AMAN Launches a Puppet Show for Kids

December 9, 2006.

 

 AMAN announces the beginning of a series of shows for children. The shows tackle issues of corruption, nepotism, and favoritism in the Palestinian society. Four showings of an interactive, educational play “Al-Hares” for 600 school children between 10-13 years old were performed at Al-Kasaba Theater in Ramallah.  Al-Hares is a puppet show based on a short story that conveys lessons of integrity and accountability for kids. The motif behind the story shows how practicing favoritism negatively affects the development of a society. The showing of the play marks an innovative attempt in utilizing drama in tackling the issue of corruption for kids.

 The same show will be performed in 40 schools in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the coming two months.
