She joined the psychosocial care program in mid-March 2018. During the earlier workshops Nagham seemed to have lack of concentration, shyness and lack of self-confidence and tension problem. During discussions in the photo language, she used to ask her friends to speak instead of her, or she would speak in a very low voice at the contrary of the drawing workshop where she was causing nuisance, excess movement, and she was making fun of her colleagues when talking about their feelings.
It was difficult for Nagham to start drawing and refused to try at the beginning, and after the intervention of the facilitator and her colleagues she began to integrate and drew the thing that pleased me represented by nature and trees and flowers and children playing but she refused to talk about it with her colleagues. For the thing that made her angry she drew two girls, one of them is crying and told the facilitator privately that she gets upset with her colleagues when they make fun of her.
In the second drawing workshop, she refused to participate and draw her superhero or talk about how the superhero can help her solve her problems. And she started instead making fun of her friends and their drawings, or having side talks with girls next to her.
The third drawing workshop wasn’t better when it came to Nagham’s attitude towards the activities or the group. At the contrary she was more irritating to the others. With the help of the facilitator she finally accepted to draw the shocking event and shared it with the group in a low and very sad voice. She drew the funeral of the two of her cousins who were killed by the Israeli soldier. She also drew her dream of becoming and beautiful and famous model, and shared it with the group.
She was later moved to another group under her request. She became more integrated in the group with the clay modeling activities. She became more serious and concentrated. She also started sharing her feelings; she shared what made her happy and what made her angry. She talked about her superhero and how he would help her solve her problems. She was able to share these information while standing and in a strong solid voice.
During the Diorama workshop, she was more cooperative with her colleagues. She shared her opinion with the others and she expressed her embarrassment about her weakness in reading and writing by asking the help from the facilitators and her friends. She became able to express her feelings without being embarrassed. She stopped making fun of others but she became aware of others’ feelings. When a disagreement between members of the group she would remind them of the vows they made at the beginning to end the fighting, which made her relationship with the group mush stronger.
