In May we had the sixth annual event of girls, boys and young workers. This event last 4 hours, where the children and the teenagers were able to share experiences, life stories and talked about their rights.
30 children and teenagers, assist to the event, and 100% were in school and planning to continue with their education. Which means that Melel´s goal has been accomplished, at least for those 30 children and teenagers.
During the event, we gave them a t-shirt, lunch and we play lots of educational games. You could see the youngest ones speaking about their rights at the podium with the microphone, it was really emotive.
The importance of this event, was to create a safe space where the children and the teenagers can share similar experiences, thoughts, problems and understand that they are not alone. Is also a moment to think about the possible solutions of what they are facing and ensure a strong social network to make them feel empowered.
We are vey grateful about all your generous donations y we want to thank global giving for giving us the opportunity of raising money, that help us increase our educational activities, benefiting more children every day.
