“English With Aunt Polly”, a Northern Exposure Business, is Expanding


Paulina Gibbel Kravetz, who holds an MA in English and possesses 38 years of experience as an English teacher, has developed a unique program to teach English through recreational activities.
Paulina created various games – including board games and party games, as well as workbooks and a puppet theater – through which she gives children tools to begin acquiring English as a second language; her method enables children as young as four to develop speaking, reading and writing skills.
Paulina designs and creates unique puppets for her shows and uses them in the classes she teaches. The puppets serve an important role in teaching the children, as they are large, colorful and absorbing.
Starting next month, a series of four puppet shows in English will take place in Usfiyya .
As the summer approaches, Pauline will run her “Aunt Polly” day camps in Acco, the surrounding towns Krayot and Usfiyya.
Next school year she will open new classes in Acco, Usfiyya, the Krayot and Nahariya.

News from visiting delegations, tours and reports from Northern Exposure micro-enterprises in the North of Israel.

Starting the project - our first day

September 15, 2006: Haifa, Nazareth, Eilaboun, Kiryat Shmona and Tsefat
We just got back from three very intensive days of visiting, filming and interviewing micro-entrepreneurs and owners of micro-businesses, Arabs and Jews, all over the north of Israel. Their personal stories revealed the immense economic, social and personal damage inflicted by the second Lebanon war.

The amazing thing was to see how, amidst all the chaos and shocking effect of the war, these people continue to create. They are not willing to give up and fall into despair. They are full of passion for producing their craftsmanship, selling it and rebuilding their lives.

The web-catalogue we are now creating aims to help them fulfill this vision.


Video clip: First day in Kiryat Shmona

September 19, 2006: Haifa. We attended a conference organized by Economic Empowerment for Women - 'Reorganizing Micro-businesses after the War'.It was attended by over 100 clients of EEW, and included seminars on a variety of subjects. It was a great opportunity for us to see first hand how an NGO was addressing the needs of micro businesses in the North and to meet many of the people. We photographed products and interviewed some of them for incorporation in the catalogue.
