3. Tamkeen
project:
Tamkeen
project aims at developing and fostering the role of civil
society
organizations in the West
Bank and Gaza strip. This project offers also the necessary
help needed in the sense that the NGOs can be able to
develop their financial and administrative systems, so that
they can perform their activities and give more efficiency
and transparency to its offered services.
The
co-operation between the CCSNS and Tamkeen began on 5/6/2001
after its approval on providing the society with the
financial and technical support needed for its proposed
project that aims at the early discovering campaign of the
speech , language, and hearing disorders in both private and
public schools, besides the UNRWA schools. This campaign
includes children of the second grade. The project included
also different activities in order to raise awareness
amongst individuals in the northern part of the West Bank .
The project it self was a great
success and it has given positive results which benefited
the children who have some speech - language disorders.
Those children were examined to
know what kind of disorders they suffer from, and then they
are sent to the society in order to get the needed therapy
before the problems grows up with time in case they were not
discovered earlier.
The great success of this
project was a motive that made Tamkeen agree on extending
its period to include another stage and a higher level of
administrative and media services which aim – after all
at acquainting the people with the role of the society and
facilitating the job of giving its services to the largest
possible group of individuals.
4. The
British consulate: The
British consulate has already offered a financial grant with
(10000 $) in order to buy modern devices for diagnosing and
treating speech disorders.
The grant helped the society to
have the two basic devices of (Nasometer) and (visipitch),
to which was the large effect in facilitating the job of
diagnosing the case and the therapeutic sessions, by using
such technique, the ways of evaluation and examining became
more objective, and the therapeutic missions are now to be
held within amusing atmospheres due to the entertaining
programs offered by such devices.
