Youth becoming confident trainers

Last week group B of the Self Help Group met to continue making educational materials while we wait for permission to teach in the schools.

One of the girls came to the centre early in the day to start work on the powerpoint presentation and we made the film clips for verbs. Students in the schools that we visit will be shown the film clip and asked to guess what the verb is. In this way we hope to engage them in active rather than passive learning.

Verbs

Our computer student who has gone from not knowing anything about a computer, to teaching the boys that came later in the day is showing much more confidence in herself and using the computer and it was a pleasure to see.

We will post all of the materials online for teachers and groups in other areas of Lebanon.

In conjunction with preparing materials, students will also receive training on photoshop. One of the group works with this programme in his sign making job and will share his skills with the rest of the group next week.

Little by little, we are becoming a cohesive, confident and skilled group.
