Turmus’ayya

Turmus’ayya
This time our sarha was in Turmus’ayya, we met in Ramallah too early and we were so sleepy, but in the same time we were so exited for this sarha, because it is in a strange place for us, and we rarely heard about it and not that much of information’s, we only knew that Turmus’ayya is a small village between Ramallah and Nablus, and that it has a horses club in it belongs to one of its people, and that was the mean reason for our huge interest in this sarha.
Our road to Turmus’ayya was too long we felt like it took forever, but on the way there, we saw how the settlements surrounded Turmus’ayya all over, and blockade it from being expand, and that is what the settlements did with Ramallah and all the Palestinian cities not just Turmus’ayya.
There we met our professor Alessandro and Mr. Abu Ashraf. Who is the man who own the horses club, he told us about himself at first and that he have the American citizenship like 80% of the people of Turmus’ayya. He came bake to Palestine because he felt that it is the time for him and for his family to live in their homeland Palestine and Turmus’ayya. He came back with his family to Turmus’ayya because he felt that it's time to build it and make it better. He wants to be part of the building. So they came bake and as his dream were to build a house in Turmus’ayya, a big one with horses stable. He built his house dream, but instead of building a horses stable he built a big horses club.
We walked in a very long road I felt that it is for the nowhere and it will never finish. But will we were walking we saw a very old room, belongs for an old women, her name is Zmmzemya she said that this room used to be a small store, for her family.
We went to the municipal council and we met the mayor Mr. Mohammad Jamel Abraham he told us about Turmus’ayya many things made us know very much about Turmus’ayya. Which is Turmus’ayya is a Latin name means the grapes low land. And that Turmus’ayya locates 72 kilometers from Nablus and 22 kilometers from Ramallah. And Turmus’ayya area is an 18 thousand acres, 4000 acres from them had taken by the Israeli for the settlements that is located around Turmus’ayya. And that 80% of the Turmus’ayya’s people have the American citizenship and most of them lives in the state or lived there for a while. Turmus’ayya contains a hospital and an elementary school for both girls and boys, and it has a secondary school and a high school separated one for boys and one for girls. Also they have court legitimacy. And they are planning to build a bark and a sport city in Turmus’ayya. They are now looking for to make Turmus’ayya a city not just a village dependent on Ramallah.
The glow and the desire to change and reform their country that we saw in the people of Turmus’ayya were amazing. We learned of them how our love and our dreams in leading our country to better place can be true be the hard work, simply that we can do that by hanging on of our dreams whatever it were hard and difficult and far.
