Muna

Muna is a 53 year old Palestinian. She is married with 8 children (5 girls, 3 boys), ages 20 to 32, including 20-year-old twin girls. Six children are married and she has 18 grandchildren.

Muna wanted to be able to change her life and not just be in the house all the time. Muna says she wanted to work at Green Creations so she could learn something new. Also, she has met many new people, both local and foreign. She likes being with the women at work and enjoys doing her job.

Muna loves her grandchildren and she has a lot of them! She loves it when they come running, give her hugs, and call her ‘Teytah’ (Grandma). Muna loves to see them every day.

When Muna was a child, she was an exceptionally good student who took great pride in her accomplishments. At the age of 17 her father arranged for her to marry even though she begged him not to. Muna was heartbroken she was not able to complete high school. Thankfully, her husband is a good man. Because of her job at Green Creations, she has been able to help her youngest daughters complete high school. One of those daughters has now chosen to go on to university and Muna is helping make that possible.
