Aggression?

I wonder why people are so aggressive lately? Is it because we’re all so tired, so fed up, so deeply exhausted because of the explosions and unstable situation dominating the country? It’s true that summer approaches and the heat is not easy to bear. But, we’re just starting the summer season…so this can not be the main reason.

At 7 AM people  are already so tense that they certainly do not behave like gentlemen in the traffic. I talk about 7 AM. One single word evokes insults, drivers getting out of their cars, threats and…

The kids I welcome at the center are noisy, wild and undisciplined. I mean, less than they usually are, coz kids are kids.

The mothers waiting for their children seem restless, uncertain, fatigued and stressed.  They all say: Will we have a summer like last year? inshallah no, coz we can’t take it anymore.

What can we offer them? We try to work out a summer day camp for children in the neighborhood. We want to offer them language boosting (English and French), educational games, a hot meal and snack, drama, drawing and singing.

Of course we are in great need of volunteers. So if you are available or know some who might be and lives in Beirut around Nabaa, feel free to join us.
