On the occasion of the beginning of the school year, and in order to encourage children to commit themselves to school time, the mobile team at Meskanah Community Centre carried out a series of awareness-raising activities on the dangers of dropping out of school, targeting children and people in the villages of Wadhah, Hayet and Sukaria in the eastern countryside of Aleppo.

These activities were carried out jointly by the Syrian Society for Social Development and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and included promoting the importance of science, its positive impact on the future of children, the importance of communicating with and supporting children in their school careers, discussing the risks of dropout and difficulties impeding children's school attendance, and sharing solutions that help reduce dropout.

Parents and children interacted in activities and said:

"Financial difficulties affecting children's education and overall educational conditions"

"I got my eyes on how I could communicate with my son without beating him or depriving him of something and support him in order to go to the school."

"I knew that if I had a problem with the school that I needed to share it with my family and don't let it affect my future."

"I learned from the session that I have to ask for help. when there is hard for me in the study, and don't feel shy."

"I knew the importance of learning in our lives and we need to be hard worker to reach our goal."

With a view to raising society's awareness of the importance of peace in strengthening social ties among its members, because it is the basis for positive coexistence and comprehensive development, and because human rights are promoted in an atmosphere of peace and stability, the Syrian Society for Social Development, in partnership with UNHCR, celebrated the International Day of Peace with the slogan "Action for Peace: Our ambition to achieve the global goals "within the Community alshiear Center in Aleppo.

The celebration included the participation of the children of the Child Protection Club in a peace lyric Choral, a poem expressing the importance of peace and its role in peaceful coexistence among individuals, and an acting scene illustrating the impact of peace on the family and the individual, the distribution of white roses and the placement of the audience fingerprints on the peace tree.

The event, with the support of child protection structures and the Women's Committee, finalized with balloons being thrown from above by children waving goodbye to all, creating an atmosphere of happiness in the hearts of all present people.
