I arrived in Beirut on the 28th June and at the time, I could not imagine how this trip was going to make me grow and broaden my horizons<\/span><\/span><\/span>. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Three months <\/span><\/span><\/span>previously<\/span><\/span><\/span>, we had sent a container from Brussels to Beirut and a part of it was for the refugee camp in Saida<\/span><\/span><\/span>. With the team on the ground, I went to this camp and we started to unload the container. We opened the packages and sorted the clothes. Each item <\/span><\/span>was placed<\/span><\/span><\/span> in a black bag for a refugee family, because they live in harsh conditions there. It took us two days to sort the clothes. <\/span><\/span>During this time, I got to know the teachers and the volunteers, during football games that we did with the teachers and the children of the camp<\/span><\/span><\/span>. During these games, I could create a relationship with the children.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The day after, I started to assist a teacher and a volunteer. From 8:00AM to 10:40AM, the teacher and I taught them the Arabic alphabet. <\/span><\/span>After a short break, from 11:00AM to 1:40PM, the teacher and I, his assistant, taught maths to primary school age children<\/span><\/span><\/span>. The volunteer was in charge of the English class. Finally, we ended the program with the Arabic lesson. Then, a break was necessary to relax, eat, discuss and play, and prepare the last lesson that was from 2:20PM till 4:30PM. The lesson started with some music and then it was time for the Arabic and English classes. <\/span><\/span>At the end of the day, I went outside and played with the children, but only for 15 minutes as I had to take the 4:50PM bus with a teacher to go back to Beirut with my mother<\/span><\/span><\/span>. With her, we went back to where we were staying. In total, I spent two weeks in Saida. <\/span><\/span>The schedule in Beirut was kind of the same, even if the days were shorter (I had classes from 11:00AM till 1:40PM and I did an Arabic class with a teacher)<\/span><\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The two centres are different; the learning tools <\/span><\/span>are adapted<\/span><\/span><\/span> to the children. <\/span><\/span>Between life skills lessons, English, maths and Arabic classes, the days <\/span><\/span><\/span>are filled<\/span><\/span><\/span> with many things to do<\/span><\/span><\/span>. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I went back to Brussels with new knowledge and skills that learned during my one-month stay in Lebanon<\/span><\/span><\/span>. I want to be more involved in the volunteering projects during the SB Espoir activities. <\/span><\/span>With the volunteering, I can not only share my knowledge with refugees, but they give me so much in return that it is a mutual learning experience based on multicultural exchanges<\/span><\/span><\/span>. This is priceless when we see the smile on the face of a child that is happy to learn new things.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
