The current Middle East conflict is causing further displacement in Lebanon and loss of life.
In order to protect the displaced communities, the kindergarten is closed for the moment and the children have moved to safer areas or are doing activities online.
The teachers and community workers are running daily psychosocial support sessions for displaced children. These sessions are crucial in helping to alleviate the stress and trauma the children are enduring as a result of the ongoing conflict. There is a team of 8 psycho-social professionals working with 110 children in person, covering topics such as emotional expression, building resilience, hygiene, and others, based on a curriculum adapted to their current needs.
The online sessions are held five days a week and the teachers are recording lessons from the center and classrooms, and the children are engaging with the material by sending their assignments through videos, photos and worksheets.
It is essential to maintain our support to these children and their families whose lives are being further disrupted after having fled their homes and family. Your support is invaluable to providing security in such uncertain times and ensure continuity in the children's education.
We hope that the situation will return to a semblance of normality soon.
