Project Report | Jun 7, 2016
Educational classes, art and field trips

By Josie Shields-Stromsness | Program Director, Middle East Children's Alliance

Art class!
Art class!

With your support, MECA is able to continue financial support for this vital school for 267 children who are refugees from Syria living in Lebanon.

The students take Arabic, English, Math and Computer courses. And the teachers report that the students are progressing well!

The success of this project is evident from the response of the local community and families. One teacher writes their "Some parents have come to the center to offer their thanks to teachers as a result of visible results on their children at all levels of education and learning." 

But that's not all, the children are also getting the chance to take art classes, storytelling workshops, and go on field trips.

MECA will be funding a summer camp for the children and a second year of classes to start in September 2016.
