Bayan Faysal

Bayan was interested in creating new neighborhoods in the hills surrounding the village, following the example of the alReehan neighborhood (a nearby recently built suburb). She demanded re-opening the road adjacent to the Israeli settlement which connects Ein Qinya to a number of neighboring villages, pointing that it is called the “Grapes Road,” and along it she envisioned vital infrastructures such as a kindergarten and a sports club, or recreational spaces such as a billiard shop. She created a pedestrian path as well as a canal to drain Um alJanayen’s waters into Wadi alOqdeh. She built an additional school building to serve high school students, added playgrounds and other facilities, and near Wadi alDilb she proposed a resort, a wedding hall, and a park. As for her home, Bayan replaced the existing building in which she and other family members live with a new one where the ground floor is designed as shops, and next to that her own project: a ladies’ salon. Once again Jerusalem was part of the conversation, where Bayan said: “Oh God, I would love to visit Jerusalem! When I was little, I used to go with my father when he used to receive treatment there, but it was not like today, ten minutes from Qubaibah and very fast one arrives. Let’s not talk about Jerusalem, I do not want to cry, I really miss it!” She ended by saying: “Seriously, imagine, is it possible that any of these wishes could come true?”
