Here is the latest update from the special needs class in Lebanon courtesy of our friend nor. I can’t begin to describe how proud I am of these children, and how grateful I am to Nour and her colleagues for supporting them.

Winter is on the way, and the winters in Arsal are invariably bitter! This means that it will soon be imperative to buy heating oil for the classroom. If you feel you can help with the additional cost, please check out how to donate at the end of this post.
Despite all the challenges we face, we continue with our special needs class. Most students have shown significant progress, as seen in the video, where many are now able to distinguish letters and numbers and write them correctly. After our hard work with them, both verbal and written communication has become easier. Students who were previously non-verbal have started pronouncing some letters and words, which has brought us great joy. Most of them can now count up to ten orally in both Arabic and English.
We are currently working on integrating the special needs class with the rest of the students at the center. We’ve held several awareness sessions with the other students to educate them about bullying and to encourage them to embrace their peers with special needs, as they are an essential part of the centre and we are very proud of them.
Tomorrow, we will take the students on a trip to the playground for some fun activities and a delicious meal alongside their classmates
