Summer Camp and School Progress
More than 50 children from Noor Academy were able to attend summer camp outside the city, to relax and play and enjoy nature. What a wonderful respite from the hot city in mid-July! Amine visited on a day when another group of about 50 went to the zoo. Your donations make these normal childhood activities possible for our students, relieving some of the stressors they experience as refugees in Beirut.
While at camp, they had a PE class , a picnic, and received toothbrushes and a toy.
Registration for the school year occurred in September and more than 100 students returned. After they were registered, our Director opened up the registration to new students, and we now have 240 enrolled. Classes began in earnest in October with English and Arabic classes producing great results. Watch and be inspired by these kids!
On The Ground
The tenuous ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has not resulted in any cessation of drone flyovers or attacks to date, particularly in southern Lebanon. The change of regime in Syria has not resulted in a mass exodus of refugees from Lebanon. Many Syrians who went back to their home country have returned to Beirut, finding neither security nor employment opportunities at home. Noor El-Salam continues to provide a safe, loving haven of hope and light to our students and families.
