“All I
want is to find a place to play, we are not allowed to play in street, home and
school. There is no space in my home, and my school is very crowded. All I do
is my homework and fight with my two brothers.”
In June
2014, Ali joined the summer camp at Shuroq Wa Amal Center. The ten days
Ali spent in the summer camp has made a positive change in his character.
According
to one of the animators, when Ali first joined he was a trouble maker
and was violent with his peers. This changed when he
was given a leadership role. He became cooperative, less violent and more
creative.
According
to his father, Ali isn’t fighting with his brothers anymore.
Ali says:
“At Shuroq Wa Amal, I could finally find a place to play and be
friends with other children.”
