weekly self defense classes for refugee women

By Starfish Foundation | Self defense for refugee women

Starfish Foundation in co-operation with Yoga and Sports for Refugees is organizing self-defense classes for refugee women on a weekly basis. Last Wednesday the 20th of March Estelle from France, Nour from Belgium and Marieke from the Netherlands were the instructors at our morning class, and they did a great job.

Most participants had participated in our weekend course one month ago and because of the basic knowledge they had gained during that weekend they already showed a more powerful attitude  This proves the value of the lessons and we are very happy with the positive result.

A weekly afternoon class will soon start at another location close to the refugee camp, so we will be able to reach more women.
