FAL YAGHRIS HA فاليغرسها Eco Green Self Sustainability Projects in Palestine

   
 Fal Yaghris Ha
فاليغرسها

  It all started from my time spent in Palestine way back in 2007, and as a US citizen and Biology graduate, I had to do something ; something that doesn't involve hydrating my hands with cream after washing the dishes or buying hair products… I had to do something worthy for the future generations of Palestine, for my children as a mother of 3 and for their grandchildren.
So my journey started from a simple bucket of water carried to a barrel with a meshed sieve in the corner of the house's stooh 
( house roof which is flat concrete).

  

 My neighbor Rana and I.

   Rana was a poor girl of two handicapped parents and 6 siblings out of which 2 were also handicapped. She'd come over, we’d finish washing dishes and laundry, then dip a small bowl each in the sink to take out the Grey water that we trapped from the washing  and pour that gradually in the bucket, to carry what we save of wash water out to the Barrel…. Then insert a hose in the barrel; as the water reaches ground level from the third floor through the difference in air pressure. How?  We held 2 meters length from the end of the hose at the bottom in ground level and started rotating it in the air like a Subha rotating in the hand of the Dabkah guy . And kept going for about
1-2 minutes … then finally water flushes out of the hose! Dirty Clean work !


  From there, We'd connect it to the irrigation pipes and start watering the Koosa ( squash ), Tomatoes, cucumbers and Mulukhiah through drip irrigation, and mmmm were they delicious.


Ok are You consciously ready to absorb this ??

Exactly 6 Years passed by since that time before I was able to make my first Grey Water Recycling Unit and Install it in a poor family's Background in area C.

This Area in C has been deprived from its natural Water Resources and there were Green Houses that which their owners were afflicted seriously after this deprivation ... not being able to Cultivate the Land means,
the Occupier Oppressor can take it.


In the Background is a Castle or so it was called in the past centuries of
 the Old Ancient City of Hebron, Wadi Alghrous " The Valley of  Planting "
Area C  2014

  Again, 9 years since 2016 to make one Recycling Unit for vertical agriculture. I installed it on my Veranda on the 3d floor and made close-up check ups & tests on it whether it will work in pots
 ( small areas where extra minerals won't be able to spread far from the roots thus much more concentrated in the soil ), researching its effect on the Plant's Growth to realize the gaps and reconstruct what's needed.

 10 Years to reshape the newest prototype which is being modified yet as of recent ! This time in a customer's Backyard.

To do this, I had to go through phases of hard Freelance jobs combining Translating Arabic/ English, Data entries, Grading Math & Science for 4th-7th graders Online, Voice over Home Studio Recording and ending up with my own E-Commerce website ...

Now,  I sell Super Unique Palestinian Products online and produce Grey Water Recycling Units!


It's not and wasn't easy but it is worth it.


My parents being originally from Hebron city Palestine ; I was lucky enough to be born in Jerusalem and live in Hebron where lots of the good creative stuff happens.
 At least one or more of my relatives are artists in a field of ancient crafts such as Hebron Blown Glass, some in ceramic & pottery, others in leather shoes & sandal staining and manufacturing. 

Aware that I had to take and make use of this opportunity further in this time and era to create an online website for all their creativity, especially the Blown Glass and Stained Crystal and normal Glass that was stacked in the US by my relative whom I love dearly. 
And  as always this dear one has been granting me many venues to grow and thrive; a grown old man that wasn't aware of how to promote them online and so delegated me for the matter.

Now and after succeeding on Etsy as Mystic Land Painted Creations for 3 years straight, it is time to spread the awareness about our existence and the aims of Own&Adore.

Join our affiliation program by sending your email with a note through messenger on the top left of our Website where we will approve your request and let you in on the simple process of benefiting from sharing about us, try our products and promote them with your word of mouth to get 5%-20% commission on sales !

It's the best easiest thing you can do at this time, to make a positive change. You spread the word about our products, and through the sales we construct a Self Sustainable Living by having the chance to build a return on investment and start being able to produce on demand Grey Water Recycling Systems and installing them in most homes as well as educate Palestinians on Vertical Agricultural practices and having people not need to worry much about food and more about development, as blessings come from their own hands and water…. No matter how they are now trapped and surrounded by Apartheid walls that are stealing the empty lands and hence Gobbling up their Natural Resources TRYING to Kill them slowly but surely through Deprivation ... NO , WE ARE AWAKE change comes from within, AND THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY TO SURVIVE AND THRIVE. Let's be the Spark.


Too Pixelated, this video was taken back in 2013 through my humble old Nokia phone in comparison to my latest phone today , I feel proud to have saved up to be able to upgrade, not only my tools, but my Experience with Youtube, which you'll realize with the rest of the videos on my Youtube channel.

Stained is an Art

 

  Stained ... a feeling flashes when this word comes to my mind; rather a word of all sorts...

ummm a Greasy Oil Spill that ruins my new pajamas and I hurry to the kitchen to splash flour on it repeatedly in hope it won't STAIN ... No of course I'm not talking about the Sea and pollution, I'm talking about my sandwich that was filled with olive oil today ... yet I'm dexterous.


The 35 year old Bashair Jabari that I am, an ambitious mother of three and Science degree researcher for the Sustainability and effects of Grey Water Recycling units on Soil & Plants and living a multicultural life of diversity.

This is my first Blog and hoping it gets popular with some videos containing my attribution to the world posted here and there in it and at my website since Vlogs are taking over.

Anyhow, won't beat about the bush so I'll tell you the core of this Blog written just for You.

Along  the years, and As I was searching for the Culture and proof of existence of the Classic Noble Charisma of the Palestinian nation, and as a Palestinian, trying to see the set back that caused and made us an occupied territory.

I could see nothing but a Classic, Sophisticated, Peaceful & Artistic Past.

... the Past is the Past, but Now I still am, still will be.



And the Classy Luxurious Art & Taste of my Ancestors will not go to waste, so this Blog is to awaken and sustain the Beauty we Palestinians brought and will always attribute to the world we Love.

It all built up from the time of that Facebook ad back in December 2016, which had to be Started through the name of my Facebook page Palestinian Crystal Drink-ware and Ceramic enabling the Entrepreneur in me to finally show case what it had built for over a year of setting up a simple Studio, and Learning from Blogs, and Youtube video instructions on How to build a website where I can display the Palestinian Hand Crafted Art ware.

 To be, you must do the work; and starting from scratch in the virtual world in pursuit of proving originality of what is displayed on my site ...Then what was expected from a page bluntly named after the Palestinian people had occurred ;  negative, vanish- black magic like Comments I read on my ad post was startling ...

I had comments from the opposing occupier of the land of my ancestors claiming that I am stealing the name of the art and claiming it to the Palestinians while it's Roman and that they dare not name it after their name.

Another pro Israeli was texting : " There is no Palestine"... Yet oddly a women opposing my national ad commented that this was an art Israelis were producing back then in the early 2000s etc .... they all were claiming Israel as the big mama.

Among 25 comments on my ad post of back and forth debate where of course I proved their comments wrong, only 2 were from what I considered supporters; a women tagging her husband saying " oh look dear ... this is like the set you gifted me from Turkey " and he replied " Yes dear I'll make sure to bring you another set when I go there this year " ... hadn't crossed my anxious mind to reply to them with an offer back then but we learn don't we ?
( We wholesaled to near by Middle Eastern and European countries).


 Sensing the hate and jealousy they held for my entity and the act of me promoting for my nations existence and Glory.

  Thus, searching further, had come to Know that the Stained Glass Art I have been promoting was indeed something the Arabs and Middle Easterns of the Ancient were Mavens at, and that it was practiced by the Muslims INNOVATIVELY and popularly from the 7th to the 9th centuries back in Egypt and Syria.

This Rare Unique Stained Glass Art was known as Luster Pigmentation Stained, or Luster - Painted Glass from Islamic Lands as well as Lusterware.

So it's time to Flaunt my Feathers a little and humbly Recommend You to Support and Enjoy the Beauty of the Palestinian Art and in particular Stained Glass Art that which the Hebronite people have Sustained through the Years as a heritage from back to the Byzantium era and ave added their own touch to it since then for the World to recognize.

Here is a simple video I took for the small Glass Art and Ceramic Shop where our main Pillar my Uncle and Artisan Fawzi Netatha states the truth.
