Many of us have fond memories of summer programs from our younger years. We developed friendships, acquired new abilities, and encountered various environments... all resulting in lifetime-lasting memories. In this short blog, we would like to talk about our first summer program 2022,  for kids. 

Our first summer program was incredibly unique. As a start, we got to inquire about more than 100 kids. It all happened in the Palestinian refugee camp Nahel El Bared in Lebanon. The program consisted of plenty different of things for kids: activities, social work, skills....etc. 

Things that kids learned through the summer program –

• kids learned new skills like crafts and art.
• They were physically and mentally active through different sets of activities.
• Their social skills were improved because they had to socialize with others.
• Making new friends and understanding their views and concerns.
  

More than ten volunteers used to work with the children every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, which is three days per week for the past two months. During that period, not only did the children learn, but the volunteers also learned many skills regarding time management, dealing with young kids, and, most importantly, giving their best.

In the following years, we are looking to work with different refugee camps, which will be one of the most significant challenges.
