Awareness Session on Personal Hygiene - Deir Salman, Rural Damascus
“Viruses pose a great threat to our lives… Today, nonetheless, we learned how to fight them in order to remain safe and healthy!”. This is what one of the children expressed in an awareness session conducted by the mobile team in the Deir Salman area, Rural Damascus, in cooperation with UNICEF.
The session aimed at raising awareness on the importance of personal hygiene and how to maintain it, keeping in mind the dangers of using other people’s belongings. The children also learned how to properly wash their hands and sanitize all touched objects through a set of tools and interactive games.
Furthermore, about 22 children from the local community participated in the session.
At the end of the activity, the team distributed hand sanitizers, and emphasized to the children the importance of transferring this information to the rest of their peers. They also stressed on the importance of social distancing during the current period.
We Walked Together
Out of the belief that every beginning comes to an end and drawing on the importance of conveying the idea to the beneficiaries pertaining closing down some of the centers attached to the Syrian Society for Social Development, SSSD team in partnership with the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) organized an event titled “We Walked Together” as a closing ceremony to Al- Mahatah Center for Temporary Care.
The event included diversified shows: a musical performance by Al-Fourqa Al-Nouhasiyyeh, theatre scenes, expressionist and Western dance shows, mental calculations, and some songs. The shows were performed by more than 100 children from the child friendly space at the Al-Mahatah Center.
As part of the closing plan of the center, the team conducted children sessions and activities, asserting the importance of flexibility, adjustment and acceptance of life changes. Concluding the sessions and activities, the team distributed letters of appreciation and thank you notes to the children.
Some of the comments made by the children:
“We trained a lot and exerted huge efforts; today we are proud of ourselves, offering the best and conveying our message to the community.”
“Joining this center, we learnt on day one that cooperation is the foundation of getting anything done, it is the foundation of success. Today at the event this was visible.”
“We are beginning to accept the fact that our trip together is coming to an end. We promise you that we will be successful and distinguished in every aspect of our lives.”
