Faisal Saleh Talks The Power of Art At The Palestine Museum US
We are telling the story of the people of Palestine through art and culture.
We not only showcase traditional art work but we also spotlight the cuisine, sewing and fabric art of the people of Palestine.
A huge honor to speak with Faisal Saleh from The Palestine Museum US to tell us the history of the museum, how they got started in Connecticut and their goals for the future.
We are trying to let visitors know about the lives of the Palestinians through the powerful visual medium of artwork as opposed to a constant political message.
When we watch the news we do not really have a chance to see the delicious food or folks just going on with the tasks of daily living. Here we have a chance to remember that these are individuals--cooking and going to school or work, making friends and relaxing at home.
This is a different and exciting take on the current situation and it is interesting to see the lives of individuals from the focus of the tasks of daily living.
Since the COVID outbreak the museum has created a large and successful presence on-line.
There are new presentations every week.
Thank you, Faisal Saleh, for taking time out of your very busy day to tell The Ronnie Republic Radio Round-Up about your enterprise.
All of our lives will be enriched with this new knowledge.
The Angel of Beit Sahour: Diana George Babish
Working all day and often at all hours of the night, Diana George Babish fights to save the stray dogs and cats of Beit Sahour, about 5 minutes outside of Bethlehem.
As everyone knows Palestine suffers not only from political and physical isolation but the animals are also struggling just to find a home and food.
In difficult times for people and children the dogs and cats can be the last on the list.
In The West Bank there are not any humane societies or animal shelters. There are not any programs to spay or neuter dogs and there is not any place for them to go when families are up-rooted.
Diana George Babish has established the only animal center and refuge for stray animals and injured animals in Palestine.
As a former banker working in Tel Aviv she definitely had the organizational skills to get her shelter going but there is a never ending need for donations, volunteers and a space to house these dogs while they are waiting to find a forever home.
The dogs are chipped, neutered, spayed and have received medical care. Their papers are all in order to find a home all around the world.
One of the huge problems is finding homes and getting the word out about the need for fosters and her shelter.
She has been working very hard and diligently for many years to saves the lives of dogs in Bethlehem and the surrounding areas. It is not uncommon for her to get a call in the middle of the night about a suffering dog, possible hit by a car. Diana will always to go and get them and try to save their life, 24/7.
The Times Of Israel did a lovely job of showcasing her efforts.
Visiting The West Bank on a magnificient trip with Bike Palestine one could not help but notice all of the stray dogs just hanging around.
Trying to get the word out and find homes for these well-cared for dogs.
Pleaase fell free to share this post and jump in with any ideas.
