I was born in Yemen, but <strong>when I was 14, my family and I moved to Palestine<\/strong>, where my parents were from. Now I live in Abu Dis, near Bethany. I come from a big family with 7 sisters and 2 brothers.\u201d Maisa married young: \u201cI got married at 19 and soon had two children.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAfter a few years in Palestine, I began studying Health Administration at Al Quds University in Abu Dis. <strong>It wasn\u2019t easy studying while raising a family, but I made it.<\/strong> I\u2019m proud of my degree.\u201d Her proud smile curves her lips as she repeats, \u201cI\u2019m proud of my degree.\u201d<br>Still, despite her education, she had never found a job until she came across the local crafts project: \u201cA friend who had taken part in a candle-making workshop organized by Pro Terra Sancta told me about the opportunity to work in a candle production lab. At first, I was interested from a financial point of view: <strong>I wanted to earn some money because I was unemployed.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s hard to be unemployed in a Palestine where everything is at a standstill. What started as a financial opportunity for Maisa turned into something more: a newfound sense of freedom. \u201cLife now [after the escalation of the conflict on October 7, 2023, Ed.] is suffocating: <strong>moving between Palestinian cities has become more difficult, checkpoints have increased,<\/strong> and we spend hours in line just to get through. I\u2019m also increasingly afraid for the safety of my teenage children, and that hurts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This closure has made job-hunting even harder: \u201cBefore October 7, Israel gave permits for Palestinians to work in Israel. After October 7, everything stopped, and finding a job became impossible.\u201d<br>Without freedom of movement, it\u2019s impossible to work. It feels like being imprisoned. For Maisa, \u201cmy biggest dream would be to travel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the economic benefit, today she feels a strong desire for freedom: \u201cAfter starting this candle-making activity, I realized I liked it because i<strong>t gave me the chance to leave the house every day, meet new people, and build relationships. <\/strong>I\u2019ve met many Italians, and through them, I\u2019ve gotten to know a culture and religion different from mine, which has been very interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-saida\">Saida<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Being away from my family and forbidden to travel caused me so much pain.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like Maisa, Saida\u2019s greatest wish was to travel\u2014<strong>but in her case, to return home.<\/strong> Saida is not Palestinian but Jordanian: \u201cI was born in Amman to Palestinian refugee parents originally from a city called Lod (now part of Israel). I never completed my studies. I got married at 15 and a half to a Palestinian from Bethany, so I had to leave my family<strong> and live in a place I didn\u2019t know.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/preprod.proterrasancta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/Saida-1000x720.png\" alt=\"One of the Bethany women: Saida\" class=\"wp-image-226319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/preprod.proterrasancta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Saida-1000x720.png 1000w, https:\/\/preprod.proterrasancta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Saida-400x288.png 400w, https:\/\/preprod.proterrasancta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Saida-240x173.png 240w, https:\/\/preprod.proterrasancta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Saida-768x553.png 768w, https:\/\/preprod.proterrasancta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Saida-1536x1106.png 1536w, https:\/\/preprod.proterrasancta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Saida-2048x1475.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As a very young woman living in a foreign country, Saida also faced <strong>the impossibility of returning home\u2014even just to hug her family again<\/strong>: \u201cFor ten years I only had a residency permit issued by the Israeli Ministry of the Interior. This permit didn\u2019t allow me to travel, so I was never able to visit my family in Jordan. Only after ten years in Palestine did I receive a Palestinian ID card.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ten years without seeing her mother, father, and siblings. <\/strong>Ten long years where, even as she built a life and a family of her own (Saida has four children\u2014two girls and two boys, now young adults), her happiness was tinged with present hardships and fear for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Saida has always loved art:<\/strong> her delicate hands have over the years created ceramics and painted canvas.<br>\u201cI\u2019ve always been a creative person and I love art and crafts. I\u2019ve taken many courses\u2014embroidery, ceramics\u2026 Despite my skills,<strong> I could never start a business because I lacked the capital.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>That\u2019s where<\/strong> <strong>the project <em>\u2018We, Precious as Nard\u2019<\/em> came in like a godsend<\/strong>: \u201cI was very excited to start this activity because the resources were there\u2014I just had to apply my experience and find ways to improve candle production. This job gives me a lot of satisfaction and allows me to express myself creatively. I enjoy creating new candle shapes with different colors and scents&#8230; I go home excited after my day at the lab and show my kids pictures of what I made\u2014that makes me really proud.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Saida is proud <\/strong>of what her hands create: the chance to invent shapes, colors, and fragrances\u2014to design a room\u2019s atmosphere through scent\u2014makes her feel like the protagonist of her own story.<br>\u201cThis commitment has positively changed my life and my mood. Not having had the chance to continue studying, this kind of artisanal work is perfect for me. <strong>When I work, I forget my problems and time flies.<\/strong> I go home satisfied and keep thinking about how to improve our products and how to create new ones.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Saida\u2019s face is warm and welcoming<\/strong>: her smile seems like a gentle invitation to share a moment of kindness. Despite the hardships she\u2019s faced\u2014and still faces\u2014there\u2019s nothing closed-off or bitter about her. \u201c<strong>Thanks to this work, I\u2019ve been able to give more to my children\u2014something I couldn\u2019t do before. <\/strong>This job has given me hope and positivity: I truly hope we\u2019ll be able to continue it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/preprod.proterrasancta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/Newsletter-foto-sostienici-12-1000x720.png\" alt=\"Maisa and Saida with the nard fragrance\" class=\"wp-image-226324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/preprod.proterrasancta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Newsletter-foto-sostienici-12-1000x720.png 1000w, https:\/\/preprod.proterrasancta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Newsletter-foto-sostienici-12-400x288.png 400w, https:\/\/preprod.proterrasancta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Newsletter-foto-sostienici-12-240x173.png 240w, https:\/\/preprod.proterrasancta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Newsletter-foto-sostienici-12-768x553.png 768w, https:\/\/preprod.proterrasancta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Newsletter-foto-sostienici-12-1536x1106.png 1536w, https:\/\/preprod.proterrasancta.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Newsletter-foto-sostienici-12-2048x1475.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>For Easter, Pro Terra Sancta commissioned the small Bethany workshop to produce 30,000 nard-scented diffusers to be mailed to donors.
