Fes:The painting class took place in AHLI Center on a Monday morning and after benefiting from the instruction and the advice of our colleague Cox Christopher and his amazing knowledge in painting, we ended up this workshop with a singing and dancing party. It is worth mentioning here that this session gave these kids a relaxing atmosphere and triggered wonderful creations on their parts as well as unbelievable interpretations.
Couscous party was organized and provided to the AHLI children and stuff. We were able to do this thanks to the money that we were given by MEARN. We were happy to give them the comfort and pleasure of being together, especially that we did not only prepare lunch for them, but we also had them help us in cooking it. They were really happy to be with us; we felt the same thing, too -and perhaps more.Last but not least, we provided the AHLI library with a set of English textbooks and workbooks that were meant to be used by these children, with our help.
Next step we are thinking about now is how to raise funds for the sake of these kids. We are planning to announce a “clothes donation” at the American Language Center( AHLI center is known by many poor and other street children, who usually come just to get a meal, a pair of jeans, shoes…etc.)
