At Shoroq wa-Amal, over 500 refugee children engage in before or after school activities, such as art, dance, music, sports, drama, reading, science and play. CFTA also provides 20 week-long summer camps where over 700 children, aged 6 to 18, are welcomed. Many of the camp activities are held at Shoroq wa- Amal, the children’s center. Both the camps and center provide safe and nurturing spaces for the children to preserve something of their childhood in the midst of violence and poverty. Global Family funds support the children's activities at summer camps and the Shoroq wa- Amal center. |
