"The educational tent is extremely important in the Refaat Alareer camp. With 23 kids over the age of 5 years old who have severe learning and mental disabilities, we are working closely with two teachers to provide them tailored care. Speech therapy and art therapy will be our methods to support the kids as many are stuttering, drooling, not speaking and showing more symptoms of stress. We will also give the teachers training on how to deal with children with disability in learning, and hoping then we can train more teachers and extend these services beyond the camp. Educational tent funded by Lemon Tree Collective 🙏🏽 To support the Refaat Alareer camp, please donate here: https://chuffed.org/project/113327-refaat-alareer-camp-the-sameer-project"
