On Tuesday, March 3, 2015, the Community Service Center at An-Najah National University in cooperation with the American Corner celebrated an opening of a children play room at An-Najah Hospital. The Children’s Playroom was created to provide a space for child patients who suffer from medical conditions such as kidney failure and cancer in order to have a space in the hospital they can play at and enjoy themselves while being treated at the hospital.

The opening included speeches of the representative parties and a speech delivered by a child patient Sama who suffers a cancer disease.

Representatives from the US Consulate and An Najah thanked the American Corner Nablus for spearheading such a campaign and commented on how great and refreshing it was to see children with smiles on their faces and in such great spirits at the Hospital.

Notes:

-The ceremony was attended by members of the US Consulate including the US Consul for Public Affairs, Mr Richard Buangan, Director of American Spaces, Mr Bill Murad, and Dana Rassas, Cultural Affairs Specialist.
