It is amazing that whenever we ask the kids during the Divorce Care for Kids session if they think they are to blame for their parent's divorce, all of them raise their hands. It's heartbreaking.
To make the 13-week period more interactive, Not Guilty has turned all the original stories into one-minute cartoons in Arabic.
Each week, attendants write letters to Herby telling him about their feelings.
Herby writes them back, and they will find it in their mailbox next week.
It is so important to keep kids engaged and safe as they tackle the trauma from the divorce of their parents.
Thirteen weeks seems like a long time, yet Ahmed, when he was done with his 13 weeks, was very upset that he was not coming back.
"Can I attend again?" He asked
We said definitely yes.
After the second time, Ahmed became a helper at divorce care.
Being the son of divorced parents gives him credibility with other kids, and he can understand what they are going through.
This is what Not Guilty wants: to have generations of kids who have dealt with their trauma and can help others.
