Part of the M&R team was in Lebanon with our Palestinian friends at the beginning of May, from 1st to 7th.

We were able to have a number of institutional meetings that we hope will allow us to expand the project’s network of partnerships (such as UNRWA and the Italian embassy) and we made friends with Captain Majdi Majzoub, a basketball and football coach who has built a centre inside the Shatila camp.

On Sunday, May 4th, at the Beddawi camp, a whole day of music, study and sharing was organised with the students and teachers participating in the project: about 80 boys and girls, 9 teachers and many refugee camps involved: Burji Shemali, Rashidile, Shatila, Burji Baraji, Beddawi, Naherl Berri, Ein El Hilweh. A wonderful day, full and intense. Peer education is being built, instrument teachers are increasing, and lessons are continuing in the various camps.

We are now finalising preparations for this summer’s Summer Camp!
