BETHLEHEM, Sept 2 — In the heart of Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank, Palestinians with learning disabilities are front and centre at a new boutique hotel welcoming guests from across the globe.
Maan lil-Hayat , which was founded in 2009, is just weeks into its hotel venture in a restored 19th century house. A handful of them will take on tasks at the 12-room hotel, working alongside the same number of staff who do not have disabilities. Tisserand, 64, who enthused about the building’s historic frescoes featuring big cats and an angel, said he found the hotel “rather extraordinary”.
Maan also receives donations and makes some money from selling its wool products, but “we don’t have a stable donor, so we had to depend on ourselves since the beginning”, she said.
