Bridge over the Wadi plot

In 2004, Arab and Jewish parents jointly take the initiative to establish a bilingual primary school in Kara, a village in Israel's Wadi Valley. The opening in September of that year was preceded by heated discussions. The initiative may be idealistic and noble, the reality is that the parents have many obstacles to overcome. In addition, they must defend their decision against opponents and skeptics. The school, known as 'Bridge over the Wadi', has room for 50 Jewish and 50 Arab students, but is located in the Arab part of the valley.
