The summer program was full of fun, activities, and life skills that participated in building children's personality. We'd like to share with you some of their experiences and feedback.
Noor (9 years):
"I used to ask my mother to choose for me my clothes, now and after the workshop 'I can make a decision' I started selecting my clothes, and ask my mom if I needed help."
Bushra (9 years):
Bushra presented another experience about a disabled relative . She said:" I usually feel sorry for him because of his disability, but then I learned in ' I respect others who are different' workshop to look at him as a human who has beautiful traits and not to focus on his disability"
Hamad (12 years):
"In the essential protection skills, when we learned about 'Good Secrets and Bad secrets', I was thinking about my big bad secret. This secret was annoying me for years. I felt guilty because I did not tell anyone about it, and at the same time I felt obliged to keep this secret because I promised to do so. I finally decided to speak to my eldest sister about it, and now I feel free"
Hasan (11 years):
"Before the workshop 'My heart full of love' I used to feel that I don't deserve love, and I don't have any good feelings towards myself. I hated myself and others. After this workshop I look at myself as a person who deserves love, and this way I can love others and care about them too."
Ali (10 years):
Ali participated in 'Helping others is powerful', he said: "I learned to help others even if they did not ask for it, yesterday my mom was not feeling well and I held her had to help her sit on the chair"
Reem (10 years):
"I had a fight with my cousin and she said bad words to me, but I told her that I am beautiful and I use beautiful words only, which is the name of the workshop too". ?
