Practice teaching run

Monday 30^th March the Self Help Group and their mothers got together to celebrate Mother’s and Children’s Day. The Professional and Inclusive committees are made up mostly of the parents of children attending Nabil Badran Centre, and the lunch was opened by a speech from one of the mother’s in the inclusive committee. She spoke about her participation in the group and how it gave her the opportunity to be an agent of change for children with disabilities and called on all mother’s there to join the groups and get involved.

Monday’s event was followed by a practice teaching session for the Self Help Group who will start teaching sing language in three UNRWA schools on the 22^nd of April. Their trial audience was made up of the managers and administration staff of Nabil Badran Centre and Women’s Humanitarian Organisation in Sur, the Right to Education project manager and World Vision’s Refugee project manager.

As some of the invited guests could not be there, it was decided to film the session and despite the pressure of standing up and teaching in front of everyone and having a camera directed at them, the Self Help Group excelled, showing confidence in their own abilities to succeed in their task.

It has been a positive week in the project to raise awareness for the ‘Right to Education for children with disabilities’.
