The very talented (and extremely sweet) Maya Zankoul gave us a workshop at Nasawiya on how to express our feelings & document our everyday life through illustration. Those of us (like me) who lack the talent and finesse can still use basic drawings to deliver messages. It is not the sophistication of the artwork but the ability to communicate a message powerfully that counts. During the workshop, Maya asked us to draw an incident that bugged us, so I drew a true story that happened to me & Ran last week. Yes, 3am darib 3ala Maya Zankoul Enjoy!

As you know, I am a little obsessed with WordPress and will be giving workshops and tutorials to friends & fellow activists. As part of building a Gender & IT program at @Nasawiya, the feminist collective, we are kicking off this Saturday, February 6 with a WordPress training. It’s free, you can learn more & sign up here.

Truth be told, the purpose of the training is to upgrade the nasawiya.org website to wordpress

The training is will take place at the IndyACT office in Mar Mikhael (call 01-447192 for directions) with a wireless connection for those of you who want to try out features during the workshop. To register, please email farah@nasawiya.org with a little bit about you. We have 15 places available and priority goes to young women and young activists of both or neither gender.
