After 5 full years of fantastic activity, engaging over 1,000 Palestinian women and teenage girls in East Jerusalem, and affecting tens of thousands of Palestinian residents throughout East Jerusalem, MiniActive finally has offices of its own. At the beginning of August, MiniActive began renting its own suite of offices in Sheikh Jarrach.
Welcome to MiniActive’s new offices
MiniActive will continue to operate under the auspices of the JICC. But from now on, the new offices will be the epicenter of MiniActive activity in East Jerusalem.

The new space features an office and two larger classrooms –
“Intisar, Program Director,” one of the many housewarming presents
One that holds about 30 people (above), and one that holds about 40 people (below).

Upstairs is the studio (that includes showers and changing rooms) where Zumba and other exercise classes take place that MiniActive uses separately.
Zumba to improve health
The new location is a big plus on all counts. It’s much more centrally located and easier to get to than other locations that activities have been held in. Its rooms are always available, as opposed to needing to work around other centers’ activity schedules. Its setup facilitates more order – more orderly registration, more orderly organizing of classes, more orderly documentation of requests, complaints and campaigns. More order, more professionalism, and we hope, even more success!
More housewarming presents, in green
We wish MiniActive and all its participants a wonderful and fruitful year!
And of course, many thanks to the Jerusalem Foundation for its ongoing support of MiniActive.
