As many of you already know,our main concern is for the well-being of the children of the Camp, especially in this cold winter time; more than 80% of the children we met were still wearing slippers, and had no winter Jackets, neither hats, gloves, nor socks .
Our support for the children of this camp will be in securing rain boots for as many as is possible, and hopefully a winter Jacket .
We were able to talk with many of the children. We asked one girl what does she need, and she said "watani Syria ." Watani means 'my home land '.
It is very sad how these children become adults in the way they express themselves. We asked another boy why isn't he at school and he said I can't sit on a chair , I keep on remembering my friends who were killed in one of the Syrian villages.
Many of the children were sociable, and thirsty to see people and talk to them; they expressed their needs, of a school bag, which was noted, as many were carrying their books in a plastic bag or by hand .
We visited the School ( a donation from The Bahrain Government ) , which operates on two shifts , first come the girls, and then by 11:30 the boys arrive. Some of the pictures attached demonstrate their morning exercises, and we could feel that there is now some kind of a routine happening and more discipline was well noticed .
This visit made me see the hungry, the naked, the stranger, and the sick amongst us, calling upon us to cloth, receive, embrace and feed.
I pray may peace be on earth , and may God Grant us all the strength to pray and offer our help and assistance.
